INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
Plastics for Material Handling
Every conveyor is a friction problem, and plastics are the answer: UHMW guide rails and wear strips, nylon sprockets and rollers, acetal bushings - low-friction, self-lubricating parts that protect product and run quiet. We machine them to your line's dimensions.
Common Material Handling Applications
- Bearings, bushings, bearing cages
- Wear pads
- Rollers
- Sheaves/pulleys
- Guides
- Cams/cam followers
- Edge guards/profiles
- Auger edge strips
- Chute liners
- Windows
- Light shields
- Safety sight guards
- Sight glasses (flow control)
- Feed/timing screws
- Starwheels
- Venturi throat liners
- Temperature resistance (hot or cold)
Why Plastics Win
- Low coefficient of friction
- Noise and vibration attenuation
- High flexibility for ease of installation
- Abrasion resistant
- Static dissipative and conductive grades
- Corrosion resistant
- Lightweight
- Impact resistant
- Light transmission/clarity
