10 Markets for IGA Electrical Power Systems

IGA is a manufacturer and developer of electrical power systems for cranes, hoists and other mobile machines. These types of products are essentially intended for the industrial sector, for port cranes, for the lifting sector and for the automobile industry. Throughout this article, we are going to go through specific examples of applications for these systems.

Crane Bridges

Most industrial processes require the movement of materials vertically and horizontally. That is why the use of machinery such as hoists or bridge cranes is essential in most industries.

Port Cranes

World trade is based on the movement of containers that have to be quickly loaded and/or unloaded once the ship docks at the port. Heavy cable trolley systems need, in this case, continuous work with the least amount of maintenance operations possible. Inland ports, known as “dry”, also require the use of these systems for loading and unloading containers for shipment by rail or road.

Conveyor Lines

Automatic systems for unloading trains with minerals need to carry a large number of cables along a long route, providing energy and data to said systems in an efficient and safe way.

Metallurgy

Iron ore and its related industries, such as steel mills, rolling mills, foundries, scrap handling plants or tube manufacturing plants, require the use of heavy-duty cable trolley systems, due to the large number of cables electrical they need to carry. They also need conductor rails, whether they are contact power lines or protected lines.

Energy and Mining

Bulk product movement systems, such as conveyor belts or hoppers, need electrical power systems that can withstand harsh working conditions in environments with dust, corrosive materials, ATEX classified areas, etc. In addition, if possible, with the least possible number of maintenance operations.

Tunnel boring machines

There are solutions based on modular power lines that increase in length as the tunnel construction progresses. Another possible alternative is the use of rollers. Both examples serve to feed both the tunneling machines, as well as those that carry supplies and components of the tunnel itself.

Environmental Technology

The proliferation of wastewater treatment plants has led to the need to manufacture stainless steel cable trolley systems that withstand work in these very humid and aggressive environments.

Wind power

Electrical insulators are part of a large number of wind turbines manufactured in Spain. They are part of a guarantee solution for the harsh working conditions in which many of them have to work. Several cart systems carry the tubes for the application of powder paint in the buildings where the blades and the different components of said systems are painted.

Automotive

The national plants dedicated to the manufacture of automobiles have cable car systems that electrically feed their bridge cranes. These factories also have profile systems with tool trolleys for support and handling of balancers and pneumatic tools in the assembly areas. Various LM-4 shielded lines are also used in some paint drying booths.

Oil Platforms

Oil rigs require the use of the best quality materials available due to the harshest conditions that cable trays have to endure during their operation. The use of stainless steel is essential in this type of installation. Cable trolley systems with ATEX safety level work in classified areas

¿How can I request IGA material from the Rodavigo website?

We have incorporated the IGA digital catalogue to our website, so you can directly request any type of load lifting and traction machinery, profiles and accessories from there. If you prefer, you can also use our contact form, email or phone number for any type of query.
