High-molecular-weight polyethylene sheets, with their lightweight, wear-resistant, impact-resistant, and self-lubricating properties, have become a key material for improving efficiency and reducing costs in the logistics industry.
1. Warehousing and handling equipment
- Shelf liners and slides: High-molecular-weight polyethylene plates can be used for warehouse shelf liners and cargo slides, reducing friction between cargo and metal surfaces, lowering cargo damage rates, and improving loading/unloading efficiency by over 30%.
- Forklift guards: Installing high-molecular-weight polyethylene plates on forklift tines or around the vehicle body effectively prevents collisions and damage to cargo or warehouse facilities during handling, extending equipment lifespan.
2. Conveyor System Upgrades
- Conveyor Belt Liners: UHMWPE plates can replace traditional rubber or metal liners in logistics sorting lines and assembly lines, reducing belt wear and noise while minimizing downtime for maintenance.
- Roller and Sprocket Protection: Wrapping UHMWPE plates around conveyor rollers or sprockets enhances wear resistance, enabling them to withstand high-frequency, high-load logistics operations.
3. Container and Transportation Protection
- Container Lining: Polyethylene sheets are laid on the bottom or side walls of containers to prevent wear and tear on the container while also providing moisture and corrosion protection.
- Transport Pallets: Polyethylene sheets are made into lightweight, impact-resistant plastic pallets, replacing wooden pallets. They reduce the risk of cargo tipping during transportation and are reusable over 100 times.
4. Automated Equipment
- AGV/AMR Protection: Polyethylene sheets can be used to protect the chassis of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), preventing damage from collisions with obstacles on the ground.
- Sorting Robot Slide Rails: Polyethylene sheets are used as linings for sorting robot tracks to reduce friction and improve sorting speed and positioning accuracy.
