Packaging & Filling Sector
Low-friction solutions for high-frequency conveying and cutting
Bottling and filling lines require high-performance materials to maintain high levels of speed, precision, and hygiene.
The engineering polymers machined by Tecno Plastic are used to manufacture components designed to operate under conditions of heavy wear, friction, and frequent washing.
We guarantee components compliant with food-contact regulations, resistant to detergents and corrosive agents, and ideal for applications involving direct contact with products or conveying surfaces.
Problems solved in the packaging and filling sector
- Premature wear of metal components
- Accumulation of dirt and contaminants in critical areas
- Noise and vibration on high-speed lines
- Thermal deformation during washing and sanitation cycles
Advantages of engineering polymers for bottling
- Low coefficient of friction for smooth sliding
- Reduced noise and vibration even at high speeds
- High resistance to wear and corrosive substances
- Food-contact compatibility in accordance with FDA / EU regulations
- Lower maintenance costs and extended line service life
Recommended materials
- PE, POM, PTFE – Excellent sliding properties and chemical resistance
- PP, PVC – Cost-effective, easy to machine, resistant to washing
- PEEK – High performance in critical operating conditions
- PMMA, PC – Transparent, impact-resistant components
Typical applications
- Stars and augers for bottle conveying and centering
- Low-friction sliding guides
- Gears and structural components in contact with products
- Bushings and sliding shoes on linear or rotary actuators
