Plastic profile application in energy technology

Renewable energies

In wind turbines and solar farms, plastic profiles are among the most heavily stressed components: humid and dry cycles, temperature swings and continuous operation demand the right material and geometry. Heller Kunststoffe manufactures cable ducts and protection profiles for these conditions, UV-protected on request.

DAYS A YEAR IN SERVICE

Weather is a permanent load

Humid and dry cycles

Condensation in the morning, a heated system at noon: changing humidity demands materials that neither swell nor embrittle.

Temperature swings

Between frosty nights and summer heat, components expand at different rates. The profile geometry has to absorb that movement without losing its function.

UV radiation

For sun-exposed positions we treat profiles with UV protection on request, keeping colour and mechanics stable in the long term.

FAQ: Renewable energies profiles

Which profiles does Heller manufacture for wind and solar applications?

Documented applications include cable ducts for wind turbines and solar farms. Beyond that we manufacture guide, protection and sealing profiles to your drawing for further energy components.

Do the profiles withstand weather and temperature cycling?

Outdoor systems face humid and dry cycles plus strong temperature swings. We advise on material selection, with UV-protected compounds on request, so the profile matches the real installation situation.

How sustainable is Heller itself?

Photovoltaics on the roofs, LED technology, energy-optimised machines and the recycling of production waste are part of our sustainability strategy.
