Material Handling Wear Strips and Components

Material handling processes often utilize machinery with many moving parts. After time, the points of contact between moving parts can wear down and cause disruptions in the workflow. Wear strips and components act as a sacrificial link in the system to prevent damage to the critical components of the equipment.

Wear strips and components are often made of plastic, which provides protection from surface marring and scratching, noise reduction between mating parts, and elimination of slipping and sticking amid sliding parts. One of the most common plastic materials used in wear strip applications is UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene). UHMW’s unique properties including high impact/abrasion resistance, self-lubrication, long wear life and ease of machining make it ideal for this application. Wear strips and components are resistant to corrosion and chemicals and able to keep moving parts free of external grease and lubricants. Wear strips and components are commonly used with bearings, slides, gears, cams, bushings, and rollers.

Xinxing Plastics stocks a large variety of materials for wear strips and components, including UHMW in a wide variety of thicknesses and sheet sizes. The team at Xinxing is knowledgeable in all of our product offerings and can help you choose the best materials for your project. For more challenging applications where the standard materials just won't do, our team of experts will work closely with you to find the best solutions.

white UHMW PE Wear Strip, with high wear resistance etc., is the best choice for conveyor chain. Green UHMW PE Wear Strip for engineering machinery is often referred to as the world’s toughest polymer. UHMW-PE is a linear high density polyethylene which has high abrasion resistance as well as high impact strength. UHMW PE is also chemical resistant and has a low coefficient of friction which make it highly effective in a variety of applications.

Features:

No moving parts, no lubrication ; hence zero maintenance

Extremely low coefficient of friction

High Abrasion resistant

Shock absorbing

No belt sagging, no belt mistracking

Protect belt from tear and puncture

Reduces spillage

Friendly with the side skirt sealing system as it eliminates the gap which occurs commonly between two conventional impact idlers

Key Benefits

UHMW wearstrips are easy to install and offer superior life for conveyor belts, chains and other moving machinery or products

UHMW can reduce noise levels up to 50%

UHMW is 1/8 the weight of steel, but can outwear 3:1 for most conveyor applications.

UHMW is sanitary and self-lubricating
