Application Examples

Slide rails for spiral frosters

Profiles made of our material LubX^® are used in the construction of spiral frosters for frozen pizzas. With its outstanding slide properties, the material helps to reduce the conveying power required and hence the energy used. LubX^® meets the requirements of Regulation 10/2011/EU and the FDA and so is suitable for direct contact with foodstuffs. Depending on the application we recommend LubX^® CV, LubX^® C, LubX^® S or LubX^® Ast black.

Slide elements for beverage bottling plants

Our LubX^® product range offers heavy-duty sliding materials specifically developed for conveyor technology. Thanks to its outstanding slide properties, conveyor systems equipped with LubX®, such as those in beverage bottling plants, need less energy, slip-stick effects are avoided and the stability of the conveyor processes is improved. Depending on the application we recommend LubX^® CV, LubX^® C, LubX^® S or LubX^® Ast black.
