Plastic Slide Profiles - PE Profiles - slide strips

Slide profiles made of Polystone® M (PE-UHMW) and LubX®

Optimise your conveying and sliding processes

Slide profiles made of Polystone® M (PE-UHMW) and LubX® have been specially developed for the design of efficient and high-performance conveying and sliding processes. Owing to their excellent sliding properties, Polystone® M and LubX® contribute to reducing the drive energy required by conveying processes and support the stability of processes. Available in many different dimensions, complex geometries and thin wall thicknesses, our slide profiles are used anywhere in the world where something moves.

 

Extruded slide profiles

Our state-of-the-art extrusion systems can be used to create slide profiles with complex geometries for you that cannot be made by machining. Depending on cross-profile, production by extrusion can offer advantages over machining in terms of cost-effectiveness and technical feasibility.

  • Profile lengths: on roll or in individual lengths up to 12,000mm

Machined slide profiles

We manufacture slide profiles by machining for prototypes or required quantities for which it is not cost-effective to create an extrusion tool. We use our profile milling machines to create high-precision slide profiles having demanding cross-profiles, surfaces and different wall thicknesses according to drawings.

  • Profile lengths: up to 6,000mm

Consulting & in-house toolmaking

Our experienced technicians will be happy to support you in the development of your geometry and advise you on your application. Our in-house toolmaking gives us a very high degree of flexibility for implementing the right slide profiles for your application. We will also be happy to assist you if a prototype is required.

 

Characteristics - slide profiles

Excellent sliding properties

Thanks to the low sliding friction coefficient, slide profiles made of Polystone® M (PE-UHMW) and LubX® can reduce the required drive energy in conveyor systems and increase the stability of your processes.

Extremely wear-resistant

Thanks to their extremely high wear-resistance, slide profiles made of Polystone® M (PE-UHMW) and LubX® withstand long-term use and have a long service life.

Very good chemical resistance

Excellent resistance to various chemical media

Suitable for contact with food

Polystone® M and LubX® meet the requirements of EU 10/2011 and FDA, depending on the individual modification.

Continuous operating temperatures from -250° C to +250° C

Suitable for applications with high and very low temperatures, such as cold stores, depending on the material

Environmentally friendly

Environmentally friendly because of 100% recyclability

Polystone® M (PE-UHMW)

As ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, slide profiles made of Polystone® M solve problems related to friction, wear and material flow in numerous applications. Modern conveyor and handling technology, storage and packaging systems and the beverage industry can no longer do without this material.
