e-dispenser for shore-power supply

Reduces costs and is environmentally friendly

In 2017, we introduced the e-chain, a complete solution for a partially automated shore power supply system. In this case, it was a project-specific special solution, which had to be (at least partly) re-designed for every new application in the port. Based on this idea and the experiences in the area of shore power supply, we re-designed the e-dispenser. The goal is to provide modular energy supply solutions for different shore power applications for medium and low-voltage connections.

The e-dispenser module can be used variably in combination with various systems (e.g. cranes, structures, mobile transfer systems). The e-dispenser module is delivered as a ready-to-install plug-and-play solution: conveyor unit with triflex R energy chain, chainflex cables, connectors, junction box, harnessing – everything tested and with a 4 yr. guarantee. With this, we offer a standard energy supply unit that is individually adapted to the situation on site and the respective customer requirements, developed and constructed as a complete solution. Also, for other industries, e.g. mechanical engineering, robotics and welding applications, the e-dispenser module represents an interesting energy supply solution. In all cases, users benefit from standardized (and hence tried, tested, and cost-effective) energy supply components.

Tech up

Modular and compact system
Modular system: ready-to-install triflex® R e-chains® energy supply unit incl. cables & connectors; optional: drive; optional: further steel structure
Flexible in terms of extension length and installation options
Fail-safe through cable protection with triflex R energy chain TRC.125*
Defined minimum bend radius*

^{*Compared to commercially available systems with an open-guided multi-core cable}

Cost down

Single cores are more cost-effective than multi-core cables
Less space required due to use of single cores (due to smaller minimum bend radius*)
In the event of damage to a single cable, the entire cable package does not need to be replaced*
Standard components instead of project-specific special solutions
Time-saving, partially automated connection of the power supply

Proof

Test set-up at igus®

Sustainability

Power supply by means of shore power, ship's diesel engine does not have to be used for power generation
No exhaust gases and no noise locally
Have your energy chain recycled in the igus® chainge recycling program when it reaches the end of its service life. No matter what manufacturer.

Multi-core cable with 3 x 95²
Minimum bend radius Ø 70mm x 10 = 700mm

* The bend radius within the e-dispenser has been reduced from 700mm to 300mm (57%) and outside the system the cables are protected from kinking with the TRC (bend radius 185mm).
