Conveyor wear strips and guide rails support and guide belts and chains along the length of a conveyor system, operating under continuous sliding contact. Metal wear strips generate higher friction, accelerate belt wear and require regular lubrication, while also introducing noise and corrosion risk in washdown environments.

Engineering plastics such as PE (UHMW-PE) and POM-C provide a low-friction, wear-resistant running surface that reduces belt wear, lowers drive energy requirements and operates without lubrication. Their impact resistance and low-noise properties make them well suited to high-cycle, continuous-operation conveyor systems, while chemically resistant and food-safe grades extend their use into hygienic and washdown environments.

Plastix Factory supplies wear strip and guide rail stock as sheets and cut-to-size profiles, machined to your specified length, width and mounting configuration.
