Advantages of UHMWPE Conveyor Roller
 
01/

Friction coefficient small
The friction coefficient of UHMWPE products is extremely small, which is similar to that of ice. As the surface of the roller, it can effectively reduce the friction with the surface of the belt, thereby prolonging the service life of the belt.

02/

Abrasion resistance
UHMWPE has excellent abrasion resistance, which is the best among all engineering plastics. Experimental data shows that its wear resistance is 5-7 times that of carbon steel or stainless steel under relative conditions. With this alone, its service life is more than three times longer than that of steel rollers.

03/

Corrosion resistance
The corrosion resistance of UHMWPE is excellent. At room temperature, any concentration of acid, alkali, salt, sulfur and other corrosive media are difficult to chemically react with it. As a roller, there is no need to worry about corrosion and rust.

04/

Water absorption rate very low
The water absorption rate of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is very low (0.01%), so its own anti-adhesion is excellent, even under water or oil media, dust will not stick to its surface and scale. As an idler, one is not to worry about the surface biting the belt due to adhering materials, and the other is not to worry about increasing the rotation resistance due to scaling on the rotating part.

05/

Very light
The specific gravity of UHMWPE is very light, only about 0.94, which is 1/8 of that of carbon steel. As a supporting roller, it is easy to install and replace and operate without noise, which reduces the working intensity and purifies the working environment.

06/

Anti-static
The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene roller can have double anti-static (antistatic, halogen-free flame retardant) characteristics, which can be used in special environments such as coal mines to ensure safety.

The Development of Various Industries Relies on the Superior Performance of UHMWPE Conveyor Roller

Wet or frozen material can be difficult to move. UHMW-PE prevents wet or frozen material from sticking to equipment. Moisture causes many materials to stick to steel, but with this type of material they move easily, without hang up. Your rail fleet will operate better with maintenance parts of UHMW which resist abrasive and corrosive dust environments. Conveyor belt return rollers do not build up with wet or frozen product when they are sleeved with UHMW. Both wet and dry materials discharge faster and more easily from storage equipment lined with UHMW.The prime advantage afforded by UHMW-PE in handling aggregate and sand is that it facilitates the flow of smooth and fine aggregate and wet sand, which would normally stick to metal surfaces. In addition, UHMW will reduce or eliminate corrosion and equipment wear. Because it is often stored outdoors and exposed to the weather, agricultural machinery benefits from self-lubricating, long-lasting parts that do not corrode or freeze, even on rusty shafts and ways. Non-corrosive, non-stick characteristics make UHMW-PE ideal for contact with seed, feed, fertilizers, and wet harvest products. Solid waste is often corrosive and very abrasive, especially if it contains corrosive chemicals, glass, and metal scrap. In a solid waste handling system, moisture is often present, making movement of the material difficult. UHMW-PE allows the wet waste to slide more easily without sticking. It is more resistant than stainless steel to corrosion from a variety of strong chemicals and its abrasion resistance gives excellent service life. Trucks, trailers, hoppers, and bin liners with parts made of this type of material unload quietly.

It is widely used in metallurgical mines, coal mines, chemical industry, grain storage, building materials, ports, salt fields, electric power, and other industries. Since most of the rollers are exposed to dust and water pollution, and the material is worn or corroded by the roller body, the ideal roller must have three core technologies.The labyrinth seal that never contaminates. Roller manufacturing precision, consistency of technology; roller body anti-corrosion and wear-resistant technology. Can control the bearing life cycle, planned predictive maintenance. Solving the contradiction that the traditional roller sealing performance is good and the rotation resistance is correspondingly large. Extend the life of the tape, roller rubber surface, reducer, and motor by more than 5 times. Exempting a large amount of manpower and material resources for maintenance.Significantly reduce the labor intensity of workers and improve their health.The different environments can choose different materials of the roller, the most reasonable investment, and operating costs.Reduce downtime, improve the overall economic benefits of transportation 5-8 times. The 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 difficult for the dust to get through the narrow channel.
