Urethane wear shoes are used in material processing tanks or channels to eliminate steel to steel contact. Urethane wear shoes are molded one piece construction and bolted in the OEM locations to smoothly wipe and clean the bottom of a tank or grit collector’s. Urethane wear shoes are made to your systems exact specifications and last five times longer than UHMW replacements! Urethane is also 7 times lighter than metal.
Urethane wear shoes are also found in wastewater applications and are resistant to corrosion and abrasion. Most urethane wear shoes only use one angle surface wear; the part can be easily removed and turned so the other angle becomes the wear surface. With our team of engineers and chemist’s, we can also match your existing polyurethane wear shoes perfectly often times costing less than OEM replacements. Our engineering department can turn your idea, sketch, drawing or CAD file into custom urethane parts. We will reverse engineer to recreate any urethane part for production or one-off urethane pieces. The engineering department uses SolidWorks and our machine shop uses CamWorks for 3 axis milling.
Our equipment includes CNC mills, lathes, polyurethane grinders as well as a state of the art urethane waterjet cutting machine. Secondary equipment includes sheet metal, welding, grinding, automated cutoff, broaching and more. We offer complete manufacturing capability for the inserts or cores required for your parts and provide one-stop shopping for all of your custom cast polyurethane products. Machining cast urethane parts require specialized equipment and training. Here at Plan Tech we make all of our own molds in-house for speed, accuracy and precision. We control the entire process from design to manufacturing. Mold making is at the very core of what we do. Our machine shop includes CNC Lathes, Mills and Grinders for machining cast urethane parts. We also have manual mills as well as a sheet metal and welding area. We have a Flow Water jet with 48×96 inch sheet capabilities and can cut a list of materials like Polyurethane, Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Carbon fiber, and most plastics.
