drylin econ entry-level series for simple adjustment and positioning tasks reduces costs by around 80% Injection-moulded from regranulated high-performance plastic and therefore very cost-effective and sustainable, the new polymer carriages from the igus drylin econ series make adjustment and positioning tasks simple. They cost less than 20% of what their milled aluminium counterparts do. Thanks […]
The world is becoming increasingly interconnected. Everything has to be available at all times. AI and chatbots are taking on more and more tasks. But past problems have shown us that supply chains can be disrupted and major problems can arise. That’s why we have set up a global network of production and storage locations […]
In today’s increasingly globalised world, service is often a nuisance for everyone. You have a problem with a household appliance, perhaps an oven, and you have specifically chosen a German brand. Luckily, the instructions also include a flyer with service numbers for each country. But when you enter the number into your phone, you always […]
Bearings are on just about every machine imaginable in the packaging industry: tray sealing, dosing, cartooning, form fill and seal, tubular bagging, and sleeving and wrapping applications, just to name a few. So it is easy to see how machine builders and designers, whether for general packaging or the food and beverage industry, could bite-off more than […]
igubal spherical bearings are self-aligning bearing elements manufactured completely from polymer and are therefore very lightweight. They are perfect for use in weighing systems. Individual scales, but also multihead weighers, can be found in various types of packaging machines (such as bag forming, filling and sealing machines). Because the products to be weighed and packaged […]
The following blog provides tips for selecting the right guide roller for each application. Tip 1: Determine the load profile- At the beginning of each selection process, the conveyor system design engineer should determine the requirements for the drive rollers and guide rollers. They will often notice that they can use more cost-effective guide rollers […]
No matter whether you call it energy chain, e-chain or a drag chain, it also does not matter whether cables have Flexible Dynamic (FD), highly flexible (HF) or “chain” in the name. It is not the name that matters, but rather the function and durability. So, which is best? A “hard” or a “soft” cable […]

When a new product is being developed for food, packaging, or beverage machine test phase, receiving prototype samples of a plain bearing or other machined components as quickly as possible is very important. iglidur polymer bar stock allows such components to be manufactured easily … with no minimum order quantity. It is available as plates, […]
Knife edge rollers are designed to reduce the gaps and ensure safe transfer of small parts from one conveyor belt to another. Especially in the food & packaging industry, during transfer of small food products like cookies, cakes, biscuits, pasta products, they may slide into the gap between the two conveyor belts if there is a […]
