Top 10 UHMWPE Applications



Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, or “UHMW/PE”, is one of the most versatile and efficient polyethylene plastics manufactured in today’s industrial marketplace. The Spiratex Company, experts in extrusion, has been a leading UHMW/PE extruder for years and has been at the forefront of its emergence as a low-cost thermoplastic that can outperform other well-know plastics.
UHMW/PE Applications:

Spiratex extruders UHMW/PE plastic for applications defined by our customers. The applications are amazingly diverse and varied. Many of our parts are manufactured for the material handling and conveyor industries where the thermoplastic serves not only as a buffer against steel parts with considerable drag but also provides extended belt life.

While conveyors of all types remain a major use for our UHMW/PE plastic and are usually standard parts, its use has become prevalent in numerous industries.

You’ll find UHMW/PE in an incredible array of everyday products you either use or experience. That includes neck guides for handling soda bottle, guide rails in car washes, waterway gates, snow blower scraper blades, commercial refrigerators, forklifts and walkway handrails at airports. The list is endless.

Applications:
1.      Agriculture equipment
2.      Car wash industry
3.      Dairy conveyor equipment
4.      Water-handling equipment
5.      Trucking industry
6.      Snow blowing equipment
7.      Shipping
8.      Airport equipment manufacturers
9.      Wine industry
1.      Bottling industry

Plastic Manufacturing – Know The Complete Process

Image
Plastic, being a versatile product, is manufactured in all parts of the world with a rapid evolution in the manufacturing processes. Industry experts believe that the total demand for plastic products is likely to increase by 3.5 percent in 2018. With increased demand, modern technology and new applications, the plastic industry is expected to grow at a constant rate. The formation of plastic is a complex process which is accomplished through different methods. Injection molding is a method used for manufacturing different products of plastic. In this method, the plastic pellets are fed into the hopper from where they are fed into the barrel. The pellets are crushed by a reciprocating screw in the barrel which makes liquefaction of plastic easier. There is an empty mold into which the liquefied plastic is injected from the reciprocating screw via nozzle. The plastic is then kept into the mold in cool place for hardening into the desired shape. Injection molding is mostly u
