Heavy Plastics - offshore applications

40 years' experience

igus® is a specialist in the area of plastic research and can look back on 40 years of experience here. Specially developed high-performance plastics enable the use of igus® e-chain systems® in almost all application areas. Damp, dirt, chips, heat, cold, we have the solution for every requirement and do not use any steel or other metals in our e-chain® materials. In an increasing number of heavy duty areas, steel systems are being successfully replaced by igus® plastic e-chains® due to their exceptional suitability.


State your requirements and we fulfil them:

Corrosion-free

Cost-efficient, modular design

Long life at minimum maintenance costs

Resistance against dirt, chemicals and high temperatutres

Proven, tested material with igus® system garantee

Low weight with high stability

TÜV certified



That is only a few points that we consider when selecting and designing your "heavy-duty system". See all the things for yourself that are possible in the heavy-duty area with igus® - plastics for longer life®.

Examples in offshore application

The plastic energy chain guides 200kg/m cables on an offshore drilling vessel

A robust plastic e-chain ensures safe cable guidance for an offshore drill skid

Plastic energy chain for safe cable guidance on a 2000HP jack-up rig

Robust E4.1 e-chains are used for the cantilever and drill floor skid on this drilling vessel.

Robust energy chains for moving the drill floor skid on drilling vessels

The manufacturer uses strong, compact plastic energy chains on an offshore drilling platform

Gangways

540° rotary module inside the bridge platform to allow the pivoting movement. The e-chain® series E4.1 for energy guidance (including fire extinguishing water) of the extendible telescopic unit of the bridge.

Gantry crane

Long travels with opposing e-chains® on gantry cranes for risers on drill ships, semi-submersibles and drilling platforms. Complete systems with trough modules and chainflex® cables.

FPSO Mooring turret

The rotation module on the winch of the Riser Pull-In System with mooring turret.

Welding equipment on a pipe-laying vessel

Swarf-resistant energy chain for welding equipment on a pipe-laying vessel

Pipe Laying Tower

To guide the cable and hose pack of the chain tensioner, welding equipment and crane

Retractable ship propulsion systems: compact guidance for heavy cables

Strong E4.1 series energy chains designed as multiband chains for high cable weights

Special strain relief

Nested igus® E4.1 e-chains® with a small bend radius due to very flexible chainflex® cables fit in the minimal installation space of the drives.

Deep drilling rig

400t Top Drive with 35m travel. Two 600 Series ESD version e-chains®, mounted beside the Top Drive on the mast.

Top drive

Deep drilling rig with a very small profile and a top drive capacity of 500t. Pipe handling with an E4.1 ESD chain, guides hydraulic and data cables

Pipe handling on drilling vessels: safe cable guidance with E4.1 energy chains

For these two drilling vessels, pipe handling cable guidance needed a permanent solution.

Multi purpose tower

Vertical travel on a "Multi Purpose Tower" on a drilling vessel. Enclosed e-chainsystems® with 40m travel to operate finger board and top drive.

Pipe handling

igus® E4.1 Series e-chains® on the drilling equipment of the vessel including horizontal and vertical pipe handling.

Heavy-duty crane

Made according to customer's design and delivered ready to install for 450° rotation angle in a knuckle boom crane

Maritime crane

Changed crane supply on an installation vessel: An XXL energy chain with a rearward bendingradius shall ensure the power and signal supply as an alternative to a slip ring.

Knuckle boom crane

Rotary systems for offshore knuckle boom cranes with 540° angle of rotation

Rack & pinion top drives

Energy supply to rack and pinion lifting equipment for top drive systems.

Offshore application examples of "riser pull in systems"

Secteur off-shore

Equipement de manipulation de tubes avec une chaîne porte-câbles en polymères igus®. La chaîne porte-câbles procure une grande stabilité et une grande fiabilité à cette opération.

OpenHydro tidal turbine

A plastic chain makes any kind of maintenance on the open sea obsolete; a conventional metal chain would not be adequate for the combination of technical, climatic and mechanical requirements.

Inspection device

The bearings reliably transmit the high radial centering forces with low friction and free of stick-slip and minimize the arm system's friction through their integrated start-up.

Rust-free roller chain

The maintenance-free polymer bearings are used in rust-proof roller chains, which are employed to drive main and auxiliary equipment.
