Plastics for Lumber and Paper

Sawmills and paper lines wear through steel parts and ear protection alike. UHMW and nylon chain guides, wear plates and liners run quieter, last longer and never need grease — which is why mills that switch rarely switch back. We cut and machine the replacement parts to your dimensions.

Common Lumber and Paper Applications

  • Lumber industry — saw tables, liners, hose wrap/saddles, bushing, bearings, rollers, sprockets, chain guides, safety windows, flange caps, wear rails, saw guides
  • Saw mills and planer mills — tipple gates, chain channel inserts, wear plates/strips, bearings/blocks, sound dampeners, chipper spouts, drop grate arms, conveyor flights, hooks, slider blocks, diverter arms, chain caps, chip screens,
  • Pulp and paper industry — bearings, bushings, conveyor parts, sprockets, liners, seals and rings, deflector blades, forming boards, pulp bale press slides and protectors, paper wedges

Why Plastics Win

  • Cost efficient
  • Lightweight
  • Low coefficient of friction
  • Lighter than steel; outlasts rubber
  • Requires less power to operate
  • Handles pressure and friction well
  • Impact and abrasion resistant
  • Minimizes product damage
  • Shock absorbing
  • Extends equipment life
  • Corrosion resistance to corrosion, rotting, rusting
  • Protects hoses, wires and cables from rubbing, crushing and kinking
  • UV and weather resistant
  • Reduced noise and vibration
  • Self-lubricating
  • Wide temperature resistant range
  • Easy to install and replace
  • Faster flow over screens
  • Fewer hang ups
