Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE)
In the same polyethylene family as HDPE, Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) is dense, strong and abrasion-resistant. It’s especially well suited for holding up against wear from constant friction between moving parts. UHMWPE is fairly low cost and can be used for a wide variety of applications. Though it can be fabricated and machined, it’s not as well suited to forming specific shapes as HDPE. However, it is generally able to hold up better against friction and wear over time. Relevant for food related applications, UHMWPE is compliant with FDA/BfA requirements and is physiologically inert.
With our workshop in Brisbane (QLD), B Plastic is able to machine components efficiently and with minimal tolerances.
V Belt Guide
We manufacture all types of V Belt Guide. They are available in several grades of UHMW plastic. UHMWPE chain guides extend chain life, decrease noise and friction. Chain guide material used for conveyor side guide and conveyor frame support provided in ultra-low friction ULF material and highly self-lubricating.
Z47 wire
Wire mesh belts are used in extremely high temperatures (baking, bakery, and snack food conveying) or sub-zero temperature (frozen food conveying) applications. We provide wire mesh belt conveyors which are appropriate for the application. Closed wire mesh belts allow flexibility for conveying little components. We offer two models with a variety of wire mesh configurations. We use three different bed materials-UHMWPE plastic, roller or wears strip slider.
