Other technologies
Powermite supplies high performance cable festoon systems for the efficient feeding of power, data, air or fluids to mobile bulk materials handling systems or mining machinery. The caable carriers used on the festoon systems are custom made, compact, rugged and reliable in order to protect and manage flat and round power or data cables for electrical energy and data transfer to machinery. These low maintenance feeding systems contribute to maximised uptime and productivity due to their easy installation and uncomplicated operation.
Powermite/Conductix-Wampfler has the appropriate ISO 9001:2008 certified system to keep plants, mine sites, cranes and ports moving. Incorporation of the latest modern technology into the modular design ensures an above average operational life, even in the harshest of environments.
Available in an array of configurations, these feeding systems are ideally suited for use on virtually any type of moving equipment. The Powermite/Conductix range comprises light, medium and heavy duty festooning for straight runs, bends or circular configurations. The I-Beam cable carrier is suited for heavy duty applications including bulk container handling by cranes typically found at ports. With a load capacity of up to 125 kg and maximum system length of 150 metres, the C-Rail cable carrier is an ideal energy supply system for light to medium duty applications. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, the C-Rail is available in zinc-coated and stainless steel.
Powermite supports a complete range of cable and festoon hardware and accessories, including cable guiding and anchoring devices, damping devices, junction boxes, cable connectors, organisers and clamps, connection boxes, towing clamps, reels, cable, rope and webbing plugs, and end clamps.
