Polyurethane conveyor drive sprockets are found in many industries such as food production and health products that specify polyurethane sprockets. Since polyurethane is resistant to harsh environments from heat, chemicals, solvents and abrasion as urethane has great abrasion resistance and excellent load bearing performance. Common industries that use conveyor drive sprockets are Battery Manufacturing, Computer Chip Manufacturing, Cardboard Box Manufacturing, Food Manufacturing, Farming equipment, Shipping distributors and the U.S. Postal Service.
Polyurethane conveyor drive sprockets have lower tooling costs vs traditional metal sprockets often times costing less than OEM replacement sprockets while exceeding the physical properties of the original parts when compared to plastic or rubber sprockets. Polyurethane conveyor drive sprockets also have unique noise abatement properties not possible with metal parts resulting in quieter operating machines that will also help absorb vibration. With a variety of additives that Plan Tech offers we can enhance wear properties, add lubricity, UV stabilized, flame retardant, or to reduce static build up offering increased wear resistance over traditional rubber drive sprockets, making them an ideal choice for business owners. In addition to manufacturing new urethane conveyor drive sprockets, we also offer recoating services.
Existing sprockets where the hub or core is in good shape can be re-coated, cleaned and refurbished with a new urethane coating to complete a custom conveyor drive sprocket. New and recovered polyurethane conveyor drive sprockets can be manufactured to withstand a variety of load weights at variable RPMs. We can also produce new or replacement urethane conveyor drive sprockets for an existing part.
For over 30 years we have focused on using Speed and Precision to rapidly deliver the highest quality industrial cast urethane components and parts to our customers. With our team of engineers with the latest machining equipment, we can cast custom urethane sprockets for your application from a simple sketch. We can also fabricate custom cores that may be molded inside the urethane sprocket. Whether you are a start up company or global leader, we can add value to your products with our strong engineering support, urethane polymer experience and constant focus on meeting all delivery requirements.
