Plastic flights

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed information about plastic flights and profiles used in industrial applications, highlighting their specifications, materials, and benefits.

Specifications: The plastic flights are made from wear-resistant nylon and are designed to reduce steel-on-steel contact, leading to energy savings and noise reduction. Various types of flights are available, including Nylon, Nylon with Glassfiber reinforcement, Zytel, and FDA-quality. The document lists specific dimensions and parameters for these flights, such as length, height, and chain compatibility.

Materials and Benefits:

Nylon Flights: These flights are flexible, reduce noise, have low frictional resistance, and are cost-effective. They are temperature resistant between -20°C and +70°C and are easy to assemble or replace.
Nylon Flights with Glass Fiber Reinforcement: These offer the same benefits as standard nylon flights but are more durable and less flexible for heavier duty applications.
Zytel Flights: Similar to nylon flights but with a higher temperature resistance of +70°C to +110°C.
FDA Quality Flights: Suitable for food-related applications, maintaining the same qualities as nylon flights.

Plastic Profiles: Made from materials like Nylon, PU, and UHMPE, these profiles can be used as flights or scrapers. The document describes different models, including cleaners and profiles attached to steel scrapers.

Welded Scrapers: Special welded scrapers are available for different transport orientations (horizontal, inclined, vertical), with specific designs like the "BT" scraper for horizontal transport and the "U" scraper for inclined transport.

Chain and Pins: The document mentions the availability of pins for drop forged chains, made from various materials such as 16MnCr5 and 42CrMo4i, with different head designs like circlip head pins and head pins with threads.

Plastic flights Our plastic flights are made of wear-resistant nylon and are flexible. As the chain is carried by the plastic flights, it eliminates the steel-on-steel contact, this will lead to saving energy and a considerable noise reduction. There are various kinds of flights available: Nylon, Nylon with Glassfiber reinforcement, Zytel and FDA-quality. Nylon flights • Reduce noice considerably, • flexible / bendable under high pressure • low frictional resistance, saving up to 20 % of the energy, • less costly; less wear and tear of the bottom plate and the chain, • eliminates the need for guiding and wearing strips, • temperature resistant between -20 °C and + 70 °C, • very quickly and easily assembled or replaced. Nylon flights glass fiber reinforced • Same qualities as the Nylon flights but more durable and less flexible for heavier duty. Zytel flights • Same qualities as the Nylon flights but temperature resistant between +70°C and +110°C. FDA quality flights • Same qualities as the Nylon flights but also suitable for food purposes.

Plastic profiles Plastic profiles are made out of different materials, such as: Nylon, PU, and UHMPE. These may be used as flights or as scrapers. The profiles are available in various different versions. This page shows the most common used models. Cleaners Plastic profile attached to the steel scraper. Profile C Plastic profile pushed over the steel scraper. Half moon The so-called ‚half moon‘ profile is attached to the steel scraper. [email protected] www.bechtel-wuppertal.
