Plastic Uhmwpe Sheet Impact Resistant/Impact Bars for Conveyor Belts/UHMWPE Impact Bars for Conveyor Belts

 UHMWPE Impact Bars

Impact bar is used in the loading area of the belt conveyor to replace the traditional cushion rollers. The loading zone of a conveyor is a critical area. The type and size of material as well as height of drop are the main factors causing damage not only to belt but also the rubber rings and bearings of the conventional impact idler rolls. 

The impact bar is a combination of three different layers. The top layer is made of UHMWPE for smooth movement of belt, thanks to its low dynamic co-efficient of friction. The middle layer is of rubber to cushion the impact load while the lower layer is made of aluminum, which acts as a fastening device with the main support frame or cradle. The cradlers are custom built to suit specific applications. The installation of impact bar is made is such a way that the belt is not in touch with the bar when running empty. The belt comes in contact with the bar only when it is running under loaded condition.

Features:

• No moving parts, no lubrication ; hence zero maintenance
• Extremely low coefficient of friction
• High Abrasion resistant
• Shock absorbing
• No belt sagging, no belt mistracking
• Protect belt from tear and puncture
• Reduces spillage
• Friendly with the side skirt sealing system as it eliminates the gap which occurs commonly between two conventional impact idlers
