IRP Engineering Plastics specialises in Dry-Running Applications that eliminate the need for traditional lubrication in conveyor systems. Our innovative solutions provide significant advantages, particularly in industries where hygiene and efficiency are paramount. Dry-running conveyor components are ideal for food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, packaging, and other industries where cleanliness and safety are crucial.
Our dry running solutions eliminate the need for external lubricants, ensuring cleaner production environments and reducing the risk of contamination.
Without the need for lubrication, maintenance requirements are minimized, leading to lower operational costs and less downtime.
Dry running components often operate more efficiently, requiring less energy to move products along the conveyor, thus reducing energy consumption.
Ideal for food and beverage industries, dry running systems prevent the accumulation of dirt, bacteria, and other contaminants that can occur with lubricated systems.
By removing the need for lubricants, we reduce the risk of slipping hazards and promote a safer work environment for employees.
The reduction or elimination of water has been made possible by the realisation of the potential to locally manufacture NGE products that provide new opportunities for operating conveyor lines without lubrication., resulting in cost savings and a safer working environment. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that NGE materials reduce noise levels in dry applications and offers a longer wear life than acetal materials.
Due to the lowered requirement for water and/or lubrication, water savings rise significantly, while the demand for it diminishes. There is a significant decrease in energy usage as well.
Our dry running solutions are highly versatile and are suitable for a wide range of industries.
Ideal for meat, poultry, dairy, and bakery industries where hygiene standards are critical.
Our dry running components ensure smooth and clean operations in bottling and canning lines, helping maintain product integrity.
Dry running systems ensure contaminant-free production environments, crucial for sensitive pharmaceutical products.
Dry running components ensure smooth and efficient movement of packages through production lines without the need for lubrication, maintaining a clean environment.
Extra Performance Polymer (NGE – Grey Blue) is a high-speed, low-friction material engineered for dry-running applications. With enhanced wear resistance, chemical durability, and FDA approval, it is ideal for high-performance conveyor systems in packaging, food processing, and industrial automation.
