Lumber
In the lumber industry, equipment and machinery face constant wear, friction, and heavy loads. Traditional materials like metal often struggle to provide the durability, efficiency, and longevity needed for such demanding conditions. This is where performance plastics make a difference.
We recognize the unique challenges of the lumber industry and offer solutions that boost the performance and lifespan of your equipment. Whether it's sawmill machinery or conveyor systems, our performance plastics are engineered to withstand tough environments and deliver reliable results.
By integrating our advanced plastic components into your operations, you can optimize the performance of your equipment over time. Let us support you in elevating your lumber business with the advantages of performance plastics.
Materials
- Acetal (POM)
- Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC)

Applications For Lumber Industry
- Lumber industry — saw tables, liners, hose wrap/saddles, bushing, bearings, rollers, sprockets, chain guides, safety windows, flange caps, wear rails, saw guides
- Sawmills and planer mills — tipple gates, chain channel inserts, wear plates/strips, bearings/blocks, sound dampeners, chipper spouts, drop grate arms, conveyor flights, hooks, slider blocks, diverter arms, chain caps, chip screens
- Pulp and paper industry — bearings, bushings, conveyor parts, sprockets, liners, seals and rings, deflector blades, forming boards, pulp bale press slides and protectors, paper wedges
- Protects hoses, wires, and cables from rubbing, crushing, and kinking

Trees use chemicals as communication tools. For instance, in the case of insect infestation, the first tree to be affected will send an airborne sign al to the other trees, warning them of the danger.
