Plastic Products for Packaging and Conveying Equipment

Plastic Products for Packaging and Conveying Equipment

We supply plastic sheets to help businesses create packaging and conveying equipment to move or orient any product. We are specialists in cut-to-size and precut sheets for guide rails, conveying equipment, and other packaging and moving solutions. Businesses rely on our products to manufacture gears to lift, lower, clamp, slide, transfer, flip, spin, rotate, push or pull just about anything in economically feasible and operationally reliable ways. Nearly every segment of the packaging industry has used our HDPE, UHMW, and polycarbonate materials.

Why Choose Our Packaging Equipment Materials?

Systems for packaging raw or loose goods into material to be shipped or sold must be robust and entirely reliable. They should be easy to use and effortless to maintain. To help our clients get better results in the packaging process, we supply plastic sheets for roller chain guides, star wheels, conveyor guards, spiral conveyors, bearings, and bushings, as well as gears and conveyor belts.

Premium Materials for Maximum Performance

UHMW - Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene

UHMW plastic sheets are the gold standard for conveyor components due to their exceptional wear resistance and low friction properties. These materials can handle heavy, abrasive loads while providing smooth operation and extended service life. UHMW is ideal for wear strips, guide rails, and sliding components.

HDPE - High Density Polyethylene

HDPE sheets offer excellent chemical resistance and impact strength, making them perfect for food processing and packaging applications. They resist cuts and gouges while maintaining non-stick surfaces that prevent grease and oil accumulation. Available in FDA-approved grades for direct food contact.

Nylon - Engineered Performance

Nylon plastic sheets provide superior strength and dimensional stability for precision gears and mechanical components. Available with MoS2 (molybdenum disulfide) filling for enhanced lubrication and reduced wear in high-stress applications.

Polycarbonate - Strength and Clarity

Polycarbonate sheets offer exceptional impact resistance and optical clarity for conveyor guards and safety barriers. These materials are 250 times stronger than glass while remaining lightweight and easy to fabricate.

Industry-Specific Solutions

Food Processing and Packaging

For dairy, meat, fruit, and vegetable packaging equipment, we provide FDA-approved materials that stand up to cuts and gouges while maintaining sanitary conditions. Our PETG and HDPE sheets offer excellent chemical resistance to cleaning agents and sanitizers.

E-commerce and Manufacturing

We're committed to improving throughput efficiency, sanitation, and belt ownership costs for e-commerce and manufacturing operations. Our materials help engineers address specific needs in material handling systems, conveyors, and belt conveyors for warehouse operators and distribution centers.

Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Manufacturing

Clean room compatible materials with excellent chemical resistance for pharmaceutical packaging equipment. Our Acetal (Delrin) sheets provide precise dimensional stability and low particle generation for sensitive manufacturing environments.

Competitive Advantages
