Material Options and Characteristics

Similar to BF type scraper flights, BR type flights are available in multiple material options depending on working conditions:

UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)

• Most widely used material in the industry
• Excellent anti-abrasion performance
• Cost-effective solution
• Suitable for most conveying applications

HDPE (High Density Polyethylene)

• Lower cost option
• Suitable for light-duty applications
• Moderate wear resistance

Reinforced UHMWPE

• Improved high-temperature resistance compared with standard UHMWPE
• Can replace PU (nylon) material in most applications
• More cost-effective than PU
• Available in black or dark grey

PA (Nylon)

• Higher wear resistance than UHMWPE
• Higher cost
• Still used in some specific applications such as rice mills

PU (Polyurethane / Nylon Type)

• Higher temperature resistance
• Now gradually replaced by reinforced UHMWPE in most applications
• Still used in some conveyor systems such as ring chain conveyors

Performance Advantages

The BR arc scraper flight provides several key advantages:

• Effectively reduces wear on scraper conveyor chains
• Low noise during operation between chain and flight
• Reduces damage to conveyed materials
• Improves conveying efficiency
• Suitable for continuous conveying systems

BF vs BR Flight Type

• BF Type: Flat scraper flight, used in en-masse and horizontal scraper conveyors
• BR Type: Arc scraper flight, designed for U-type and self-cleaning conveyor systems

System Recommendation

A scraper conveyor system consists of chain, sprocket and scraper flights working together.

For U-type systems, the typical combination is:

• GLR scraper chain
• BR arc scraper flight
• Matching sprocket
