Conveyor technology & automation: saving energy with plastic

The transport of goods and merchandise within a company must be quick, reliable and economical. The use of materials with optimized slide properties in your conveying process helps to reduce the conveyor power required and with it the energy used. This in turns improves the performance and efficiency of your machines. We offer special materials for the manufacture of slide-optimized components for your plant and machinery in conveying and logistics processes.

Your advantages

Typical areas of application

Application examples

Gears, worm gears and sprockets

Gears, worm gears and sprockets made from our materials have been used successfully in many machines and systems for many years. The use of technical plastics significantly reduces cost. Less downtime due to maintenance and longer service lives of all components is just as beneficial as the low lubricant requirements and low vibration and noise.

Sliding elements for conveyor systems

Our LubX® product range offers high-performance sliding materials specifically developed for conveyor technology. Thanks to its outstanding sliding properties, conveyor systems equipped with LubX® need less energy, slip-stick effects are avoided and process stability is improved. Depending on the application we recommend LubX® CV, LubX® C, LubX® S or LubX® Ast black.

Chain guide profile for chain guides

Their low slide friction coefficients enable extruded and milled profiles made of Polystone® M for chain guides to reduce the drive energy required in chain conveyors while at the same time improving process stability. Polystone® M also has permanent self-lubrication properties.

Spiral conveyors

Spiral conveyors made of Polystone® M soft that are machined on our modern CNC installations offer good slide properties for soft slide partners, while their particularly low coefficient of slide friction means they are gentle on PET bottles during the conveying process.

Rollers

Thanks to their outstanding abrasion resistance, high mechanical strength and toughness, Sustamid® 6G rollers machined to close tolerances wear less than steel, require little maintenance and so offer a very long service life.

Castors

Castors -Castors made of our materials Sustamid® 6G and Lamigamid® machined within tight tolerances are subject to less wear than steel because of their excellent abrasion resistance and high mechanical strength and toughness, are low-maintenance and thus make for a very long servicelife. We would be happy to advise and support you in selecting materials, designing and performing stress computations.
