IRP Engineering Plastics offers Extra Low Friction Applications designed to enhance conveyor efficiency and reduce energy consumption by minimizing resistance between moving parts. These applications are especially beneficial for industries where product flow speed, efficiency, and minimal wear are crucial, such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, packaging, and logistics. By reducing friction, these components contribute to longer equipment lifespans, lower maintenance costs, and improved production line performance.
Lower friction allows conveyors to operate smoothly with less power, leading to significant energy savings over time.
By reducing the resistance between components, low-friction applications minimise wear and tear, extending the lifespan of conveyor belts, chains, and other key parts.
Less friction means less frequent part replacements and repairs, resulting in reduced maintenance expenses and downtime.
Extra low friction components ensure smoother, faster product movement, which is especially valuable in high-speed production environments.
Our extra low friction solutions are versatile and cater to a wide range of industries:
Ideal for applications where products need to move quickly and efficiently through the production line without sticking or dragging.
Useful in precise assembly lines, where frictionless movement is critical for accuracy and safety.
Essential for delicate products that require smooth transport to prevent damage or contamination.
Ensure efficient product flow, especially for lightweight packages and materials that are susceptible to frictional resistance.
Our Lubricated Acetal (XLG – Marine Green & XLF – Dark Grey/Silver) materials offer exceptional low-friction performance, increased wear life (25% over LF materials), and high-speed efficiency. With FDA approval, chemical resistance, and durability, these materials are ideal for food processing, packaging, and bottling applications, ensuring smooth, maintenance-friendly operations.
