UHMWPE Rollers (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)

Technical Advantages

• Extremely high impact strength (replaces all impact rolls)
  
• Excellent abrasion resistant properties
  
• Very low friction coefficient
  
• Resistant to aggressive chemicals and corrosion
  
• Anti-Static properties ensure zero build-up
  
• Designed to ensure lower torque on inner bearings
  
• Less deflection of idler shafts under load
  

Excellent Ingress Protection

• Sealed bearing cavities (zero penetration of dust, water or other media)
  
• Bearing cavities filled with grease
  
• Can run underwater for extended periods of time
  
• Perfect for load-out applications (Pier at sea level)
  

Safety

• Will not cut a costly conveyor belt
  
• Will not ignite a conveyor belt
  
• Suitable for underground operation (SABS tested)
  
• Anti Roll-back (Rollerbrake) optional

Specific solutions for your specific needs

• Shaft and idler diameters to suit any application
  
• Unique bearing arrangements for different applications
  
• Combination of seal types for extreme applications
  
• Sealed end caps manufactured from 30% glass filled nylon for strength and impact absorption
  
• Electronic tracking possible with optional sealed transponder and software
  

Low Cost of ownership

• Longer intervals between maintenance reduce downtime of conveyors significantly
  
• Lasts on average 4 times longer than normal steel rolls, resulting in a direct product cost saving of more than 250%
  
• Huge cost savings over longer periods
  
• Ultra-long life in even the most severe applications
  
• Stock holding reduced, as can also be used as impact idlers
  
• Lasts more than 5 times longer than standard Polyethylene rolls
  

Proven track record

• Proven results in all major industries
  
• Already in use on various mines and ports with excellent results
