UPE Processing Parts In Food Machinery

The star wheel of a filling machine consists of a star wheel disk and a guard plate. As a kind of turnover wheel system, when the gears of the star wheel disk are in operation, at least one of the gears is not fixed in the position of the assembly axis, so that it can rotate around the axis of the other gears.

The star wheel is a precise positioning product that is mostly designed for bottles and is commonly used in filling and labeling machines. Therefore, the materials required for manufacturing this accessory should meet the conditions of wear resistance, no injury to the product, food grade, lubrication and no noise.

Filling machine star wheel is mainly UPE machining, UPE non-standard custom processing, filling machine is used in a wide range of fields, such as beverage filling, beer filling, oil and ester filling, daily necessities filling, pharmaceutical filling based on the design of the filling machine in various fields, the star wheel components also need to be non-standard custom processing, Chengtu Plastic is equipped with large-scale engraving machine, focusing on supporting the various types of filling machines, labeling machines and other equipment, such as the star wheel components! Non-standard customized processing.

UPE sheet: (Ultra-high molecular weight Polyethylene)

Main features of UPE sheet: high impact strength due to 7 million ultra-high molecular weight, high impact kinetic energy absorption rate at high stress, highest modulus, outstanding wear resistance and sliding characteristics, and dimensional stability at temperature and heat. Resistant to ultra-low temperature -265℃. Even at low temperatures and even at low temperatures still maintains excellent tensile strength and notch impact strength, acid and pigment resistance.

UPE plate application areas: can be used as bearings, gears, all kinds of bushings, slide rails, especially elevator parts, punch press pads, food industry, drilling boards and so on.

Disadvantages of UPE sheet: the use temperature is above 100℃, high expansion coefficient, the friction coefficient increases with the expansion and reaches the melting point very quickly.

UPE sheet (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) is a thermoplastic engineering plastic with molecular weight higher than 5 million.

Characteristics of UPE sheet: impact resistance (impact resistance ranks first among plastics), good corrosion resistance, excellent chemical resistance, lower density than other thermoplastics, low coefficient of friction, superior demolding performance, very low water absorption, excellent electrical insulation and anti-static, moderate mechanical strength, rigid creep resistance, excellent machinability, continuous naturalness, and good resistance to high-energy radiation performance.

As a new type of engineering plastics, set a variety of excellent performance in one:

1. Abrasion resistance ranks first among plastics, 4 times higher than nylon 66 and PTFE, 6 times higher than carbon steel;

2. Impact strength of the top of the list of plastics, for PC 2 times, ABS 5 times, and can be in liquid nitrogen temperature (-196 ℃) to maintain high toughness;

3. Self-lubricating and PTFE equivalent.

4. Impact energy absorption value in all plastics is the highest value, sound deadening effect is very good;

5. High chemical stability, resistant to various corrosive media and organic media at a certain temperature and concentration range.

6. Excellent anti-adhesion ability, second only to PTFE;

7. Completely hygienic and non-toxic, can be used in contact with food and drugs;

8. The density is the smallest among all engineering plastics, 56% lighter than PTFE.

In addition to heat resistance, the comprehensive performance of UHMW-PE exceeds that of PTFE, the "king of plastics", so it is known as "amazing plastic" in Europe and the United States.

UPE sheet applications: food industry and electronics, general mechanical components, bottles, canning and packaging machinery, chemical and electroplating industry, refrigeration equipment, textile industry, bulk materials and storage systems, marinas, leisure, gears, bearings, etc.
