Custom-Machined Parts are wear- and washdown-resistant.
Process Equipment Components are custom-made from various types of plastic or aluminum to achieve specific performance requirements in machinery and conveyors. Featuring star wheels, scrapers, sprockets, spacers, brackets, bearings, cams, chain guides, and tracks, wear parts are designed to withstand continuous operation and frequent washdowns. Parts can be machined with Ã-

Chain Guides meet OEM requirements.
Available in single and dual lane configurations, custom-engineered UHMW Chain Guides accommodate all standard ANSI and metric roller-, side flexing-, and link chains. Units eliminate need for lubrication systems and noise associated with metal-on-metal. Manufactured in curved and straight designs and machined with any radius, wear-resistant guides meet FDA guidelines 21CFR178.2010 and...
Read More »Belt Supports work in conveyors with frequent wash-down.
SLIDEWAYS Plastic Belt Supports, made from UHMW or HT-UHMW, feature low-friction, wear-resistant surface over which plastic modular belts may glide. Providing non-metallic alternatives for applications requiring frequent wash-down, modular conveyor supports and guides can be made from various FDA/USDA-compliant thermoplastics. Products work with belts from 3.5-72 in. wide with multiple links or...

Machining Service produces custom plastic components.
Custom Machined Plastic Components are produced from materials such as oil-filled nylon for handling high speeds and loads, MD-nylon which features dry lubricant to prevent dust from adhering to wear strips, acetal where stiffness is needed, glass-filled PTFE for chemical resistance, UHMW, and UHMW-HT. Capable of achieving tolerances to Ã-

Plastic Roller Chain Sprockets are corrosion-resistant.
Sprockets can be made from UHMW, oil-filled nylon, Nylatron-®, and other materials in A-plate and B- and C-hub styles to fit ANSI chain sizes No. 25, 35, 40, 50, 60, 80, and 100. Products resist wear, feature quiet operation, and help extend chain life by reducing friction. Lubrication-free sprockets include idler-, stock-, drive bore, ball bearing idler, and bore with keyway and set-screw types.

Plastic Idler Components suit corrosive environments.
Made from UHMW or TeflonÃ-®, Plastic Idler Components eliminate need for ball bearings and metal parts. V-belt and round belt pulleys, blind- and through-bore idlers, sheaves, rollers, and roll end bearings are made from various plastics, dependent upon desired wear characteristics. With functionally equivalent to metal parts, they produce less noise due to lack of ball bearings. Custom...

Chain and Belt Guides are oil filled for fast conveyor speeds.
Oil-Filled Chain and Belt Guides are fully impregnated with FDA-approved lubricant and can eliminate need for external lubrication, depending upon load and curve radius. They permit chains to run at speeds up to 400 fpm. Featuring 1- and 2-piece curves in standard 18, 24, and 30 in. radii, and straight wear strips from 2 to 16 in. wide, guides provide 0.16 coefficient of friction. They...
