Energy Savings with UHMWPE: Frictionless Conveyor Systems
Energy efficiency is of critical importance in modern factories to both reduce costs and achieve sustainable production goals. Although conveyor systems are the backbone of production lines, energy losses due to high friction pose a significant obstacle to businesses. This is where UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), comes into play with its low friction feature, becoming the key to energy-efficient conveyor systems. In this article, we examine how UHMWPE provides energy efficiency in factories and Samas Industrial's solutions in this area.
Why Is Friction a Problem for Factories?
Friction in conveyor systems:
- Increases energy consumption,
- Accelerates component wear,
- Increases maintenance costs.
Traditional materials (steel, nylon, etc.) have a high coefficient of friction, which causes motors to consume more power and increase electricity bills.
Anti-Friction Strength of UHMWPE
UHMWPE, Friction coefficient in the range of 0.10-0.22 It is one of the lowest friction materials. Thanks to this feature:
- Conveyor belts and slides Up to less energy allows consumption,
- Extends the life of systems,
- Reduces maintenance intervals.
UHMWPE vs. Traditional Materials
| Material | Coefficient of Friction | Energy Consumption | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| UHMWPE | 0.10-0.22 | Low | 10+ Years |
| Steel | 0.50-0.80 | High | 2-5 Years |
| Nylon | 0.30-0.60 | Middle | 3-7 Years |
UHMWPE Applications in Factories: Where is it Used?
- Conveyor Belts and Slides
- UHMWPE coated belts allow products to slide forward.
- Example: An automotive factory reduces energy consumption with UHMWPE skids reduced.
- Bearings and Housings
- It operates without the need for conventional lubrication and minimizes friction.
- Screw Conveyor Systems
- UHMWPE helices provide energy efficiency in the transportation of powder and granular materials.
- Packaging Lines
- Low friction ensures that delicate products (glass, electronics) can be transported without damage.
