Urethane squeegee blades are found in many material handling systems that consist of material processing. When the products are required to stay clean this is when urethane squeegee blades act like a wiper to help clean away debris such as rock, gravel, sand, stone, and other substances processed on conveyors that can create material build up. Bolted to the application they are easy to install or replace existing urethane squeegee blades.
Other common urethane squeegee blades applications will consist of an ID thro-hole where the blade will be placed over a cable or fixture. With our team of engineers and chemist’s, we can also match your existing squeegee blades perfectly – often times costing less than OEM replacements. Plan Tech’s squeegee blades last far longer than metal, plastic, steel, or UHMW wiper alternatives. Typical urethane squeegee blades are an 80A, however, they can be produced in hardness from 30A-75D durometer, which ensures cut resistance and resiliency. The major advantages of the urethane squeegee blades include high load-carrying capability, high dielectric strength and non-magnetic with protection against marring/galling with a long life while still offering abrasion resistance.
Urethane is also resistant to most oil and solvent and will help dampen vibration or shock. Plan Tech also has the ability to fabricate any core required that will be chemically bonded in our clean rooms and then molded into the mating parts of the polyurethane squeegee blades. The leading edge of the wiper can also be produced up to 120’’ long with beveled edges from 45° down to 20° this will allow you to choose the right urethane squeegee blades that lay flat and provides the best seal. Whether you have existing squeegee blades that need recovering or you need a new core fabricated to your design specifications we are here to help. We can also strip off the existing worn covering and apply a new urethane covering to an existing core. All colors, all duros with a variety of additives can be added to enhance wear properties, add lubricity, UV stabilized, flame retardant, or to reduce static build up. A metal detectable additive can also be added for FDA requirements.
