UHMWPE U-Trough Lliners
High-Performance Engineering Plastic Solution for Conveyor Systems
UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) UHMWPE U-Trough Lliners are advanced engineering plastic products widely used for guiding and wear protection in material handling systems.
UHMWPE U-Trough Lliners Information
UHMWPE U-Through liner simply refers to a liner made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) that has a U-shaped through channel. This type of liner is commonly used in bulk material handling systems, such as truck beds, silos, chutes, etc., to help materials slide smoothly and prevent sticking or clogging.
Because UHMWPE has an extremely low coefficient of friction, outstanding wear resistance, and excellent impact strength, it is particularly suitable for heavy-duty, high-impact, and high-wear environments.
Applications of UHMWPE U-Trough Lliners
- Conveyor Systems: Used in U-shaped guiding grooves and chutes on belt conveyors to reduce wear on steel channels.
- Mining Industry: Ideal for guiding and buffering ores, coal, and aggregates.
- Ports & Terminals: Provides wear protection in bulk material handling systems.
- Power/Energy & Metallurgy: Suitable for conveying abrasive materials like fly ash and slag.
- Agricultural Machinery: Used as a wear-resistant liner in grain and feed handling equipment.
UHMWPE U-Trough Lliners Key Features:
- Exceptional Wear Resistance: UHMWPE has a wear resistance 6-7 times that of carbon steel and 4 times that of nylon, making it ideal for high-wear environments.
- Self-Lubricating: With an extremely low coefficient of friction (0.07-0.11), it reduces friction between materials and liners, improving efficiency.
- Impact Resistance: UHMWPE is highly resistant to cracking, even under low temperatures or high-impact conditions, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications like mining and coal industries.
- Corrosion Resistance: Resistant to acids, alkalis, salts, and chemical solvents, UHMWPE is perfect for wet or corrosive environments.
- Lightweight: With a density of just 0.93-0.94 g/cm³, it’s easy to install and reduces equipment load.
- Eco-Friendly and Non-Toxic: Complies with food-grade standards, with some models suitable for the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Structural Advantages of U-Trough Lliners
- U-Shape Design: The curved structure fits the conveyor chute, providing a continuous, smooth guiding surface that reduces material blockage.
- Modular Installation: The liner plates are installed in segments, making it easy to adapt to different chute sizes and facilitating maintenance and replacement.
- Anti-Adhesion Surface: The smooth surface prevents sticky materials (e.g., clay or coal powder) from adhering and accumulating.
- Noise and Vibration Reduction: The liner absorbs material impacts, reducing equipment noise during operation.
