TH3 – First Hygienic Design e-chain®

The TH3 energy chain is the world's first polymer energy chain developed according to "Hygienic Design Guidelines". It is FDA compliant - with the blue coloured material typical of plastic elements in the food industry (consisting of igumid TH NB for the side parts and igumid TH G for the frames and mounting brackets). It's rounded edges mean that there are no dead spaces for germ formation and with an operating temperature of -40°C / +70°C.

  • Easy to clean
  • Design without bolted connections
  • Good resistance to aggressive cleaning agents and chemicals

Typical application areas: Packaging, food and beverage/filling machines, "Wherever the highest hygiene requirements prevail and cables and hoses must be guided safely"

White paper for the food industry

Selection of energy chain for hygiene-sensitive areas

  • What is hygienic design and what do the standards require?
  • What are the requirements for cable routing in food processing machines?
  • How has Schiwa, a leading global manufacturer of slicing systems for the sausage, ham and cheese industry, solved this problem?

These and other topics await you in this new guide for food machinery designers.

Product range:

The energy chain TH3 is available with a choice between two inner heights and four inner widths for each of these heights. The up to four fixed interior segments are possible for both sizes. This means that cables and hoses can be laid completely separately from each other and yet have sufficient gaps for cleaning purposes.

    TH3 energy chain in the mushroom harvesting system

    Harvest, cut and pack each mushroom by hand? This is costly, but still standard in the mushroom industry. So far. Because, Northern Ireland-based Axis Technology and Development is developing a semi-automatic harvesting system. For the cable management in the plant, the e-chains® of the TH3 series are used, which are suitable for the food sector. The energy supply systems are designed according to hygienic design guidelines and are resistant to aggressive cleaning agents and chemicals. They also operate reliably in high humidity, which is common in the mushroom industry.
