UHMWPE is a linear polyethylene with a molecular weight more than 3 million. It is an outstanding plastic with the best self lubrication, impact absorbing properties and the highest resistance to abrasion, impact, chemicals of any thermoplastics polymer. It is regarded as an amazing material, and the new material will grow fast and be widely used.
UHMWPE Roller Features
1、Abrasion resistance and long life The shell is made from UHMWPE which has abrasion resistance 10 times that of HDPE and 7 times that of steel. UHMWPE roller have been subjected to continuous abrasion in very extreme quarrying, coastal and industrial applications.
2、Impact resistance and Impact energy absorbing UHMWPE has the highest impact strength of any engineering plastics, about three times which of nylon, two times that of PC, five times that of ABS, withstands repeated impaction, even at -196 it is tough, together with its superior abrasion and corrosion resistance. UHMW-PE has made itself ideally suited for industrial applications in complicate and rough environments.
3、Effective sealing systemThe primary labyrinth seal prevents most of the dust to get into the bearing house, and no water could leak in. The narrow clearance between bearing house and shaft forms the second sealing, the bearing house are made of UHMWPE which has a very low surface energy and are anti-adhesion, so it is repulsive to dust and water. It is quite difficulty for dust to get through the narrow channel
4、Light weight and energy saving UHMWPE rollers are only one third less in weight than steel roller, they are even lighter than HDPE roller, since they have superior strength .Light weight and low friction result in considerable energy saving.
5、Reduced belt damage UHMWPE shell is self-lubricant, and prevent the adhesion of any transfer material, so no damage was caused to conveyor belt, even in case of roller be stopped.
6、Noise reduction UHMWPE is a much better noise debase material than HDPE, UHMWPE rollers generate much less noise than conventional steel roller, they are environmentally friendly
7、Corrosion resistance UHMWPE roller can withstand humidity, corrosive chemicals, acids, salt and alkalis.
8、No sticking UHMWPE could not be sticked by any material, so no conveyor material will be sticked to roller surface.
9、Machined face Machined face of shell yield excellent balance and low T.I.R.10.Low maintenance fee Light weight make it easy to fit and install. The labyrinth cap could be put back easily for clearing dust on line without take off the roller.
