The plastics expert igus offers products for cost-effective and zero-maintenance options for packaging machinery design
 igus presents a wide range of innovative products – ranging from food grade tribo tape to fully harnessed energy chain systems. These are specifically developed for the stringent demands of the industry.
“Manufacturers of packaging machinery rely upon high-performance components especially where products must be packaged in a time and energy-efficient manner”, states Lars Braun, Head of Industry Management – Packaging Industry at igus GmbH. “Machinery has to be designed and manufactured within strict rules and regulations, whilst minimising associated costs, in order to do this we offer individual components as well as complete systems for drive technology.”
Food grade: quality standardsAt igus, most food grade products are produced in blue, and are therefore clearly identifiable. The world’s first tribo tape made from proven iglidur A160 materials is suited for a range of applications due to its friction and wear values. Specifically, its maintenance free dry-running properties make it an ideal component for packaging machinery as a sliding surface where low friction is essential. Another example, and with an equally wide range of design freedom, iglidur A160 is also available as stock bar. Food-grade materials, iglidur A181 and iglidur A350 are used for even more specialised challenges, such as high temperature applications.
