UHMWPE Plastic Conveyor Flight

A Latin American customer ordered customized BF flat UHMWPE conveyor flights for a scraper chain conveyor. The flights were mounted on metal chain scrapers to push bulk material during conveying, with dimensions and mounting holes customized according to the customer’s chain and scraper requirements.

Product: UHMWPE Plastic Conveyor Flight

Specification: BF Flat Type, Custom Size & Mounting Holes

Market: Latin America

Application: Horizontal Scraper Chain Conveyor

Description

The UHMWPE plastic conveyor flight in this project was used together with a scraper conveyor chain and mounted on the metal scraper attachment of the chain. The customer selected a BF flat-type flight, which is commonly used in horizontal scraper conveyor systems to push bulk materials along the conveyor trough.

Material

The flight was manufactured from UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), a wear-resistant engineering plastic commonly used for chain conveyor wear and guiding components. After installation on the metal scraper attachment, the UHMWPE flight contacts and pushes the conveyed material along the conveyor trough while helping reduce direct metal-to-material contact and wear.

Size

The flight dimensions can be customized according to the width and structure of the customer’s chain scraper. Before production, we can prepare a detailed drawing for dimensional confirmation. Mounting hole diameter, spacing and position can also be customized according to the chain attachment and installation requirements.

Other matching accessories

UHMWPE flights are normally used together with matching scraper conveyor chains and conveyor chain sprockets. Correct matching between the chain pitch, scraper attachment, flight dimensions and sprocket helps improve installation compatibility and stable conveyor operation.
