Conveyor Belt Plastics
Overview
Conveyor belt plastics are used to reduce friction, manage wear, and protect conveyor systems in industrial and material-handling environments.
We manufacture conveyor wear components to customer drawings and specifications, supplying plastic parts ready for installation. These components are commonly used to replace steel or rubber parts to reduce noise, wear, and maintenance downtime.
Custom Manufactured Conveyor Components
Conveyor systems vary significantly in size, speed, load, and environment. As a result, conveyor plastics are typically custom made, not off-the-shelf.
We manufacture conveyor components from:
CAD files (DXF, DWG, STEP)
Marked-up drawings or PDFs
Site measurements or sketches
Existing components for replacement
Parts can be supplied as one-off replacements or repeat production runs.
Typical Conveyor Applications
Plastic conveyor components are commonly used for:
Conveyor bed liners
Wear strips and slide rails
Chain and belt guides
Side rails and impact zones
Transfer points and support surfaces
They are widely used across manufacturing, food processing, logistics, mining, and warehousing operations.
Key Performance Requirements
Material selection depends on conveyor conditions, including:
Continuous sliding wear
Load and impact forces
Speed and friction requirements
Exposure to moisture, chemicals, or debris
Noise reduction and vibration control
Correct material selection significantly extends conveyor life and reduces maintenance.

Popular Conveyor Belt Plastics Manufacturing & Fabrication Services
Conveyor components are typically supplied fully machined to suit mounting points, profiles, and tolerances.
CNC Machining
CNC machining is the primary method used to manufacture conveyor plastics.
Used for
Wear strip profiles
Fixing holes and slots
Countersunk fasteners
Long-length components
Repeatable production runs
Laser Cutting
Laser cutting may be suitable for thin conveyor liners or panels where clean edges are required and we can use acrylic.
Installation Considerations
When installing conveyor plastics, consider:
Allowance for thermal expansion
Slotting vs fixed mounting
Alignment to prevent edge wear
Ease of replacement during maintenance
Correct installation has a major impact on wear life.
