Heavy duty industrial applications

With the TBA 440 M2 deep drilling system, Bauer Maschinen GmbH has developed a system that can drill holes to a depth of 6000 metres largely automatically. As a “walking unit” weighing in around 1000 tons, it is capable of changing locations. The handling system that feeds the drill pipes is supplied with hydraulic and electrical energy as well as control signals via our E4.1 energy chains.

With the TBA 440 M2, Bauer is breaking new ground and “breaking” is meant quite literally. The system, which weighs up to 1000 tons, is designed as a walking unit. This means that it can move independently on the drilling site - together with a pipe handler and 6000 metres of drill pipe - and can drill several holes without having to be dismantled and rebuilt. This significantly facilitates and accelerates drilling activities for exploration companies. It is therefore not surprising that Bauer is observing great interest in the TBA 440 M2. A first system has already been sold to South America and inquiries for more have been received from North America, among others.

Design and installation of a roller energy chain for outdoor use on a bauxite stockpile - an environment with extremely harsh ambient conditions.
 

Automotive wheels are manufactured here using the gravity die casting process. 

The igus® products used are designed for moving applications in such a way that they have a long service life and are absolutely reliable.

High pressure hydraulic hoses + power cables. Extreme weather environment but this chain delivers and delivers.

An asphalt finisher applies hot and cold bitumen mixtures. The e-chain® supplies the front area of the vehicle and is exposed to extreme dirt.

A plastic energy chain travels 615m in length in the Czech lignite-fired power plant in Tušimice. It has been in operation for 10 years without any downtime.

Under extreme conditions such as heavy dust and dirt, this low-maintenance plastic energy chain ensures safe operation.

igus® roller chain in power plant application: Strong dust, application of the chains in trolley and crane, the crane drive arranged in the opposite direction.

High pressure hydraulic hoses + power cables. Extreme weather environment but this chain delivers and delivers.

The e-chain® is located in the area of the rotating assembly in a bucket-wheel excavator.

Heat, abrasive dirt, high atmospheric moisture: These are only some of the ambient conditions in a composting plant.

Energy chain system instead of cable drum - Smooth operation at the sewage treatment plant since 2000

On a 441.3 m travel, a roller energy chain reduces the drive power by 75%
The crane operator's cabin is supplied with a chain of type 4040.25.150.0.
Due to the high travel speed in combination with the very high fill weight of 41.03 kg/m, a 4-belt chain was used for the trolley with 2 centre plates
