Corrosion and media-resistant: Components for washing systems
Components in gantry washing systems and car washes have to withstand a great deal, including dirt, moisture, heat, and chemical cleaning substances. Our energy chain systems and bearings made of high-performance plastics increase the functional reliability of your cleaning machines and conveyor belts, since our products are resistant to media, temperature, and corrosion. Our e-chains safely transport energy, data, compressed air, water, and cleaning agents. Upon request, we equip our systems with intelligent sensors for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. Unlike metal bearings, our dry-operating plastic bearings require no maintenance or external lubrication and are therefore ideally suited to rotating nozzles and cleaning brushes.
Benefits of igus products:
- Lubrication-free and maintenance-free for 24/7 use
- Resistant to dirt and moisture

Successful customer applications
Train wash system with predictive maintenance
The train washing station belonging to the Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois (CFL) cleans local and long-distance trains daily in its 200-metre-long wash hall. Energy chains are used in combination with intelligent sensor technology that monitors system condition and plans maintenance predictively.

Clean lorry under the open sky
This car wash uses industrial robots to clean lorries outside. The most adverse environmental conditions such as ore dust, heat and moisture pose challenges to the components installed. e-chains withstand the influences and work flawlessly.
Corrosion-free bearings in tyre soaping station
In a tyre soaping station, metal bearings were used up to now, which regularly led to a breakdown of the system. Now, these bearings have been replaced with plastic bearings made of igus bar stock . This saves costs of several thousand Euro per year.

Reliably moving nozzles for underbody wash
The underbodies of cars are cleaned in a customer's car wash. Two rotating nozzles clean the vehicles with high-pressure jets and must be resistant to dirt and water. Metallic bearings are replaced by iglidur plain bearings, which reduce failures during operation by being absolutely lubrication-free.
Safety door moves easily
For the adjustment of a protective door in a car wash, a reliable guide system which requires a low driving force was needed. The drylin W linear guide system now incorporates a component that is maintenance-free and inexpensive.
