𝐌𝐎𝐈𝐍, 𝐌𝐎𝐈𝐍 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐇𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐠 Yesterday our tour led us to slightly rainy Hamburg. We started our 8th stage at Eurogate Container Harbour. The first person our ‘replacement team’ meets is Uwe Radke, Head of Electrical Installations at the Port of Hamburg (HHLA Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG) 🚢. There, our igus Mobile Shore Power Outlet (iMSPO) provides the shore power connection for container ships. The system is a self-propelled socket that is located at the berth and installed on the quay above the fender system. With the help of the iMSPO, ships can berth flexibly at the harbour and be supplied with electricity from shore without the use of diesel engines. 💪 Next up was a 8km ride to board a ferry at Bubendeyufer and cross the river Elbe. Once on the other side, we headed to the fish market. Here our team spent a short lunch break with fish & chips🍟. Freshly energised, we were on the road again to the Reeperbahn😎. It is the most famous street in the whole of Hamburg, especially for its lively nightlife and diverse entertainment options. From there we headed across the Landungsbrücken to the Elbe Philharmonic Hall and last but not least to the Outer Alster, where our stage ended😊. #igusbikeworldtour #igus #innovation #staytuned

📣Maintenance-free conveyor belts for the food industry Knife-edge rollers are indispensable when it comes to the transition between conveyor belts or plastic modular chains. Specifically designed for applications such as these are our knife edge rollers made of iglidur A250 and A160. Thanks to their low-friction, lubrication-free dry running, the knife edge rollers reduce the drive power and energy consumption of the conveyor belts. iglidur A250 is ideal here; for applications for particularly high belt speeds and iglidur A160 for slow belt speeds. Both materials are approved for direct contact with food and comply with the FDA and EU Regulation 10/2011.🍎 You can request customised knife edge rollers from our CNC service for turned and milled parts or order them directly: https://hubs.ly/Q02W7J4n0 We would be happy to advise and support you with your project.🤝 #semi-finished #foodindustry #packaging #barstock

We want to make a difference by... we're already doing a lot to reduce our impact on the environment. Watch the video to see the details of what we are already doing. But we're also aware that there's always more to do and we want to keep improving. What do you think about sustainability in the cable industry? Do you make sure that you buy from a supplier who is committed to this issue? #igus #sustainability #chainflex #industry

𝐎𝐟𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧 On Thursday, we luckily had a perfect autumn day🍁🍂, which our team starts off in Schmölln-Putzkau. Here, they meet our colleague Markus Oppe, sales manager for the region at igus. Together, they visit our customer Fiedler Maschinenbau und Technikvertrieb GmbH. The company develops and builds cleaning vehicles that keep city centers worldwide clean by using water jets. To ensure that the technology installed does not corrode, Fiedler relies on lubrication- and maintenance-free drylin W linear guides from igus in the front welding beam structures. For the last tour in week 2, our team was heading to Berlin🚲. We started in the south-west, in Bad Saarow on Lake Scharmützelsee. From here we set off on the approx. 3.5 km journey to our stop for the day at our customer SENSYS - Magnetometers & Survey Solutions. They are manufacturer for magnetic and electromagnetic measuring systems and components. And since it's only a stone's throw away from Berlin, we naturally took the opportunity for a little sightseeing tour in the afternoon. We couldn't think of a better way to round off the week 😊 As always, you can find all the information about the individual stages in our blog⬇️: https://hubs.ly/Q02VQZ2c0 #igusbikeworldtour #igus #innovation

The second week of our igus bike world tour 🚲started in the beautiful Münsterland region - at the Gemen youth castle to be precise. From this great view, our rider Ansgar Endries set off on the 12 km route to our first customer of the day - HAANE welding systems. Haane specializes in welding solutions in mechanical engineering and uses our igus energy chains for this. From there we continued for about 13 km to our next customer Günther Wensing GmbH und Co.KG, a manufacturer of stretch bending machines and special machines, which also use igus energy chains. After that, our driver had definitely earned the refreshment at the market square in Stadtlohn.😉 Our 5th stage started in the city centre of Gotha. On the bike today: our technical sales consultant Kevin Büttner💪. The first destination: the Rockinger company. ROCKINGER Agriculture has been developing towbars for lorries and trailer components since 1985. The igus high-performance plastics have a particularly sustainable application here. The tour continued along beautiful meadows to Bad Tabaarz, 10 kilometres away. This is where the KRUMBEIN rationell GmbH & CoKG company is based. Anyone thinking of Harry Potter and Hermione's cat 🐈 of the same name is wrong. The company specialises in manufacturing machines for bakeries and patisseries😎. After a light lunch, the journey continued. With additional igus support from our energy chain expert René Mönch. Last stop for this day was L&K Land- und Kraftfahrzeugtechnik GmbH. The company is known in the construction machinery industry as a manufacturer of particularly durable equipment for excavators, wheel loaders, telescopic handlers and special vehicles. #igusbikeworldtour #igus #innovation

The last few dry years have made it increasingly dangerous to fell trees with a hammer and wedge. Dead branches fall at the slightest vibration 🌳. The company Forstreich from Freiburg has therefore developed a radio-controlled, battery-operated felling wedge. Stefan Niermann explains the role and advantages of our drylin W linear guides in the video 🧡 #linear #technology #forestry
