| Igus Energy Chain Helps Leading Farm Equipment Manufacturer Plant The Promise Of Reliability With Its Customers
The System E2, designed to deliver high stability and long service life, guides and protects the hydraulic hoses on the planter, while simultaneously preventing debris build-up. Because of the open design of the E2, debris does not become caught inside the carrier, reducing overall maintenance to the machine. The Energy Chain stands up against the daily exposure to crop residue, wheat stubble and liquid fertilizer as well. The System E2 Energy Chain also aids in the retraction process of the planter, which retracts to just nine feet, compared to the width of 40 feet it spans in the field. Mounted on the underside of a telescoping hitch that extends from an open to closed position, the Energy Chain guides the hoses into the nine-foot retracted position. Paul Paluch, Planter Engineering Manager, vouched for the reliability of Energy Chain. “We don’t expect to replace the Energy Chain from igus at all,” he said, “and the machine’s life is 10 years.” Paluch also recognizes the various benefits for Case IH and its customers. “Customers love the maintenance-free feature of the Energy Chain and we love the fact that Energy Chain is simple, cost-effective and reliable, even when compared to more expensive solutions.” Case IH has been employing Energy Chain since the planter’s inception in 2000.
