Knife-edge applications

Rotating and also rolling knife-edges are used in material handling, primarily on conveyor belts for the food industry and for the beverage industry.
In many applications, igus® knife-edges from high-performance plastics help to transfer the transported goods to downstream conveyors during the deflection. The advantages are the lack of lubricants, reduced drive power due to rolling knife-edges, increased service-life of the conveyor belt, accurate and lubricant-free deflection and tight deflection radii.

Conveyor belts

Rolling knife-edge applications - food industry  

Advantages:

Complete avoidance of lubrication on the belt deflection

Lower driving power compared to the gliding knife edge

Longer service life of the belt

Injection molded iglidur® rollers provide cost advantages compared to rotated PET-P versions

Better coefficients of wear compared to PET-P

Rolling knife-edge applications - beverage industry  

Bottle washing machine
