UHMWPE Idler

The UHMWPE Idler is manufactured using Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, a material known for its excellent wear resistance, low friction coefficient, and non-stick properties. Compared with traditional steel idlers, UHMWPE idlers are significantly lighter, quieter in operation, and more resistant to material build-up.

The smooth UHMWPE surface effectively prevents material adhesion, reducing belt deviation and minimizing conveyor belt wear. Its outstanding chemical resistance and corrosion resistance make it especially suitable for wet, humid, and chemically aggressive environments.

With low noise, low energy consumption, and long service life, UHMWPE idlers are an ideal choice for modern conveyor systems focused on efficiency, cleanliness, and reduced maintenance.

UHMWPE idlers are widely used in conveyor systems where low friction, cleanliness, and corrosion resistance are required, including:

• Mining and mineral processing

• Cement plants

• Power plants

• Ports and bulk material terminals

• Chemical and fertilizer industries

• Wet, humid, or corrosive conveying environments

They are particularly suitable for return side conveyors and applications prone to material adhesion.

• Reduced Conveyor Belt Wear
  Low friction surface minimizes belt abrasion and extends belt life.

• Lower Maintenance Costs
  Non-stick surface reduces cleaning frequency and downtime.

• Corrosion & Chemical Resistance
  Performs reliably in wet, acidic, or alkaline environments.

• Improved Conveying Efficiency
  Lightweight design reduces system energy consumption.

• Long Service Life
  Durable material ensures stable performance over extended operation periods.
