Modular e-loop energy chain system
The oil and gas business is not an easy one, especially in the so-called upstream production and extraction sector. Driven by the oil price, plant today has to work more and more efficiently to survive in the market. The energy supply system at the centrepiece of the plant, the TopDrive, plays a decisive role in its efficiency. For older installations, the energy supply system must be as easy to maintain as possible and be cost-effective. For new systems, the energy supply system must correspond to the degree of automation of the system, based on the time factor.
To guide cables safely in hanging applications, igus has developed thee-loop as an alternative to the service loop - ideally suited for three-dimensional applications. The e-loop combines the advantages of a polymer energy chain with those of a high-strength pull rope. Inside the chain, the pull rope transfers the pull force to the mounting brackets and the structure. As a result, the cables are kept completely free of strain. The modular e-chain made of high-performance polymer always enables a defined bend radius and easily copes with vibrations and impacts.
A newly developed alternative to the service loops on vertical drilling rigs offers significantly longer service life under extremely unfavorable environmental conditions.
