Get Custom Plastic Parts for Packaging Equipment
Whether you’re a packaging equipment manufacturer or a distribution operations manager looking for packaging machinery parts, we can help you with obtaining high-quality plastic components for packaging equipment and conveyor systems that are:
1. Lightweight
Reducing the weight of your equipment brings lots of benefits. They move more efficiently; and are easier to install, operate, and maintain. Naturally, plastic weighs less than metals and alloys but maintains the same strength and adds additional operational benefits. One more advantage of plastic packaging machinery parts is that they are cheaper to ship since they give you more parts per pound.
2. Low friction
Gears and other components made of plastic work seamlessly together, causing little friction. This also means they dissipate less heat during equipment operation. With less heat comes less wear and tear and failures that require maintenance. Also, thermoplastics hold up in high-stress situations and withstand heat better.
3. Wear and corrosion-resistant
Plastic components withstand harsh chemicals better than most materials. Industries dealing with chemicals and intense production processes prefer plastics to metal since they require less protection and maintenance to keep functional.
4. Quieter running
Because of their low friction, plastic packaging machinery components produce a faint sound when compared to metals. Not only that, by virtue of their molecular structure, plastics make less noise than metals.
5. Lower cost
Manufacturers spend less on manufacturing engineered plastic parts, especially in painting since colors are incorporated into plastic compounds.
6. Sanitary
With plastic material, operators don't have to deal with grease and other lubricants. Also, it causes less waste to manufacture plastics as they are produced by flowing plastic in a mold. Meanwhile, metals require material removal to get a specific machined part, creating more waste.
