Reduce conveyor friction. Improve operating efficiency.
Self-adhesive UHMW-PE slider strips for conveyor systems.
DuraSurf STS Slider Strips are engineered to reduce friction between conveyor belts and supporting surfaces, helping lower energy consumption, minimize component wear and improve equipment reliability.
Designed for straightforward installation on suitable conveyor systems, STS provides an efficient way to upgrade existing equipment without extensive mechanical modifications.
High-performance sliding surfaces for conveyor systems
DuraSurf STS Slider Strips combine wear-resistant UHMW-PE with a silicone-treated surface to provide a low-friction interface between conveyor belts and their supporting structures.
The self-adhesive backing allows the strips to be applied to suitable existing conveyor beds, offering a practical alternative to more extensive equipment modifications.
By reducing sliding resistance and direct contact with underlying surfaces, STS can help limit belt and belt-lacing wear, reduce motor load and improve overall conveyor performance.
Key characteristics
- Low-friction, silicone-treated UHMW-PE surface
- Wear-resistant material for continuous sliding contact
- Self-adhesive backing for straightforward installation
- Suitable for selected new-build and retrofit applications
Lower operating costs. Longer equipment life.
In high-volume conveyor operations, friction contributes to energy consumption, mechanical wear and maintenance requirements.
STS Slider Strips address these factors at the contact surface, creating opportunities to improve operating efficiency and reduce lifecycle costs.
Performance That Can Be Evaluated
For operations running multiple conveyors over extended shifts, even targeted reductions in friction and wear can create meaningful financial value.
Energy consumption, maintenance frequency and component replacement costs provide measurable indicators for evaluating the potential return on investment.
- Energy efficiency
Reduced sliding resistance can lower conveyor power demand and associated electricity costs.
- Reduced belt wear
Low-friction UHMW-PE surfaces help limit abrasion of conveyor belts, belt lacing and supporting structures.
- Lower maintenance requirements
Reduced friction and wear can help limit maintenance interventions and component replacement.
- Improved Total Cost of Ownership
Potential savings in energy, maintenance and replacement costs support a stronger long-term business case.
