Clamping and tensioning elements in various industries

requiring high drive power. The clamping and tensioning elements ensure minimal play on the chains and sprockets, contributing to robust, strong, and reliable drives, resulting in optimal reliability and continuity.

Food Industry

Clamping and tensioning elements are often used on transport and processing lines in the food industry, e.g., in the conveyor belts used to move ingredients or finished products. The use of reliable clamping and tensioning elements minimizes downtime, helping to improve production line efficiency.

Packaging industry and bulk goods

In these industries, clamping and tensioning elements are essential for machines that fill, seal, and transport packages. They are used, for example, in conveyor belts and filling systems to ensure that materials move smoothly through the machine without disruption. By maintaining constant tension, these elements help to prevent downtime and production losses, which is crucial in environments where speed and precision are key.

Marine and offshore

In marine and offshore applications, clamping and tensioning elements are vital to the operation of systems on board ships and offshore platforms. They are used in anchor winches, lifting systems, and crane installations, where reliability and safety are essential.

Due to the challenging conditions at sea, including corrosion and heavy loads, corrosion-resistant clamping and tensioning elements play a crucial role in ensuring the constant and safe operation of these critical systems.

Agriculture and horticulture

In the agricultural industry, clamping and tensioning elements are used in various agricultural machines, including combine harvesters and conveyor systems. The elements ensure that the drive chains and belts remain properly tensioned, which is essential for the performance and lifespan of the machinery, especially during intensive use throughout the harvest season.
