Plastic support rollers

Conveyor rollers made of plastic or with plastic storage shelves offer numerous advantages that smooth Ensure material transport in conveyor systems. The bearing bases are firmly pressed into the roller body and allow integration in different designs. suitable for light to medium loads and find in many industries Application.

Robust construction of the plastic support rollers

Plastic rollers are a robust and reliable component in many industrial conveyor systems. Thanks to their robust construction, they are durable and can be used even in particularly demanding environments. Whether in the Food, automotive and pharmaceutical industries, at airports or in agriculture – our plastic support rollers are a solution for many applications.

Material variety, long service life and other advantages of plastic rollers

One of the most important advantages of plastic rollers is the Possibility of design with very small diameter, for example with a diameter of 16x1mm. This means that they can also in narrow conveyor systems with limited space In addition, conveyor rollers made of plastic are more economical than other very quiet, which is important in many areas.

The use of plastic as a material also offers a very good sealing against dust and dripping waterbecause the plastic bearing base is pressed into the roller body. This increases the protection against moisture, dust or dirt particles in the rollers – which extends service life and reduces maintenance costs. Plastic conveyor rollers need cleaned and replaced less frequently We are happy to customize your plastic rollers with RS2 bearings: The composition of the 2RS bearings with acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) optimally prevents contamination.

Another advantage of FMG plastic conveyor rollers is that we also available in conductive versions on requestThis special design is particularly important in environments where electrostatic charges avoided This is mainly in the electronics manufacturing or in the area of chemical production essential.

Flexibility through individual designs: carrying rollers with plastic bearing floors

Support rollers with plastic bearing bases can be used as heavy-duty support rollers or as Drive roller with motor The latter are equipped with a groove, gear or toothed belt drive and thus enable precise control of the conveying speedOverall, plastic idlers offer an excellent choice for customers looking for an efficient and reliable solution for their equipment.

What thermal load is permissible for plastic support rollers?

FMG’s plastic support rollers can Withstand temperatures between -20°C and +70°CThis wide range allows for a wide variety of applications in different industries and offers you a certain degree of flexibility. Please note that at temperatures higher than 70°C, material deformation may occur, which will affect the performance of plastic conveyor rollers.

Are FMG plastic conveyor rollers always in stock?

FMG is a leading manufacturer of plastic rollers and has sufficient quantities in standard sizes in stock.

Large quantities or individual roles we produce quickly and precisely according to your information.

Selbst Small quantities We will implement this for you in the shortest possible time.

Are the plastic support rollers electrically conductive?

Yes, our individually manufactured plastic rollers are electrically conductive on request.

Especially in environments with flammable liquids, antistatic properties are important to minimize the risk of sparks and hazardous situations. Therefore, FMG also offers plastic support rollers that provide a dissipative or antistatic function.

The dissipation of static electricity is an important aspect in many areas, such as chemical industryin refineriesin Gas stations or in Battery production facilities or electronic components.

What are plastic rollers made of? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

Plastic support rollers or plastic bearing bases are usually made of polyamide or polypropylene. They are characterized by their high corrosion resistance and are therefore particularly suitable for Use in humid environments They are also easier than Support rollers made of steel / stainless steel and can therefore easier to assembleHowever, plastic storage floors also have their limitations and are not for use in areas with heavy loads is suitable.

The roller body can – but does not have to – also be made of plastic.
