  Conveyor systems are expected to move products reliably day after day, often under demanding conditions. Friction, abrasion, impact, contamination, and continuous operation can all contribute to component wear and increased maintenance requirements. Choosing the right materials for conveyor components can make an important difference in long-term performance. UHMW Conveyor Components are widely used in material handling applications because ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW) combines excellent wear resistance with low friction, impact resistance, and other properties suited to demanding conveyor environments. At Spiratex, we manufacture UHMW Extrusions and custom components designed around specific equipment and application requirements. Why Is UHMW Used for Conveyor Components? Conveyor components frequently come into contact with moving chains, belts, containers, packages, and manufactured products. That repeated contact creates wear and friction that ca...

  Your equipment was engineered for a specific job. Why compromise its performance by designing around whatever tubing happens to be available? At Spiratex, we manufacture Custom Plastic Tubing designed around customer-specific requirements. Whether an application calls for specialized dimensions, a particular thermoplastic, or challenging performance characteristics, our extrusion expertise can help turn those requirements into a manufacturable solution. Tubing Designed Around the Application Standard tubing can be a convenient solution—until its dimensions or material properties don’t match the application. With Custom Tubing , customers can define critical characteristics based on their product and operating environment rather than adapting the application to a generic component. Depending on project requirements, considerations can include: · Inside and outside dimensions · Wall thickness · Polymer selection · Dimensional requirements · Color · Performance charac...
