Why Plastics and Composites for Forestry and Wood Processing Industry?
Corrosion, abrasion and wear are common problems experienced in Forestry/Logging, Sawmills, Planing Mills and Pulp and Paper Mills with various components in conveyors, heavy equipment, chutes, hoppers and other equipment, these problems contribute to part failure and premature wear, and ultimately in unwanted downtime.
Plastics and composites are utilized throughout these industry segments to solve these common problems with their low friction, self-lubricating, chemical and corrosion resistant and abrasion/wear resistant properties. In many cases, plastics and composites can extend wear life of components and reduce unwanted downtime. Materials like UHMW, TIVAR® Ceram P and CIP™ composites are utilized for drag conveyor chain guides and liners to eliminate chain wear, noise and lower power requirements, as well as in many bushing and bearing applications to replace bronze and other materials for extended wear life.
