Renewable Power Generation
Icon Polymer recognises the increasingly important role renewable sources of energy play in the sustainable development of the global economy. We believe renewable energy generating systems can be pushed to new levels of performance by transferring technology and the knowledge we have gained engineering and manufacturing components and assemblies that satisfy demanding aerospace and heavy-duty industrial applications.
We produce polymer composite parts that maximise the performance of mature designs and can help fast-track development of innovative new concepts into viable renewable energy generation and storage products.
Renewable Power Generation Products
Wind Technology
Icon Polymer is at the cutting edge of blade and vibration control technology for wind power applications. Our products dramatically reduce failure due to fatigue and misalignment, improve efficiency and reliability of wind turbines and wind power generating equipment. We use the i-PC™ (Icon Process Control) System to produce a wide range of high strength and light weight composite materials and components from a combination of metals and engineered fabrics with special polymer formulations that can easily cope with the exceptional loads and provide the fatigue handling characteristics needed for wind power applications.
Wave Technology
Icon Polymer composite materials and assemblies are proven to deliver the strength and durability that is required in the corrosive and high-load environments typical to wave energy conversion and capture systems. Icon Polymer's i-PC™ System produces high performance materials by combining special polymer formulations with the latest developments in engineered textiles. Our unique control systems and processes deliver fabric composites that excel in the challenging operating conditions of wave power generation.
Hydropower
Icon Polymer Anti-vibration mounts and components are available in a variety of configurations and materials that are ideal for use in demanding hydro power applications. We also offer SILVERLINE® rubber-lined, water-lubricated bearings provide an environmentally friendly alternative to oil lubricated bearings. They outperform overly complicated oil lubricated alternatives and have an excellent track record in a wide range of Hydro-power bearing applications. Precision machined and available in variety of metal and polymer combinations to suit your system requirements, SILVERLINE® bearings provide class leading performance in even the most demanding operating conditions 24/7, 365.
Our design and manufacturing facilities are flexible and offer scalable cost effective low volume solutions alongside the capacity to handle high volume production runs. We produce market leading rubber to metal components, assemblies and engineered polymer composite fabrics that are developed and optimised specifically for Renewable Energy applications.
