We just got back from PACK EXPO Chicago 2024, and wow—what an event! From record-breaking attendance to some of the coolest booth experiences we’ve ever seen, this year’s show was one for the books. Whether you’re an OEM, a Power Transmission Distributor, or a Plant Operations Manager, here’s a look at what stood out and why it matters to you.
Power Transmission (PT) Distributors are important bridges that connect their customers (often consumer packaged goods manufacturers such as food, cosmetics, baked goods, and cleaning products) to technical products for maintenance and improving plant efficiency. Their challenge? A vast product offering and a high-pressure environment that demands fast and effective solutions.
Slideways manufactures precision plastic parts for conveyors and packaging machinery. This market encompasses a variety of unique applications that require different part tolerancing considerations. Factors affecting part tolerance include application, part size, and material. This blog will explain the typical applications and materials Slideways works with when designing conveyor and packaging machinery components.
Does your packaging system, conveyors, or material handling system require you to keep systems up and running for moving packages and products? If so, you may need plastic components that are custom-made to fit your application.
How “custom” is a custom roller? At Slideways, the short answer is “as custom as you need it.”
We have extensive experience in manufacturing all kinds of conveyor system rollers in a wide range of materials (not just plastic). Our plastic conveyor rollers suit any number of applications, including unit material handling systems, food processing equipment, and conveyor chain and belt returns.
Demanding manufacturing processes faced with extreme environmental or stringent liability challenges need conveyor systems that can meet lofty standards of performance and reliability.
If you’re a discrete or process manufacturer operating in a tough production environment, high-performance plastic conveyor components can upgrade your conveyor systems to top efficiency.
