UHMW poly drag flight paddles are far superior to metal drag flight paddles. UHMW drag conveyor paddles are less expensive and outlast metal drag conveyor paddles, reducing both initial acquisition and maintenance costs.

Metal drag conveyor paddles can become brittle with wear and exposure to the weather. When worn metal conveyor paddles break, they can destroy the entire chain conveyor and cause sparks that could ignite flammable or explosive materials. Spark-free UHMW paddles are far more durable and will not ignite materials, mitigating this risk.

Advantages of UHMW Poly Conveyor Paddles Vs. Steel Conveyor Paddles

• Cost - UHMW chain paddles are less expensive than steel paddles

• Durability - UHMW is highly impact and corrosion resistant and is known for its superior resistance to wear. It holds up well in extreme environments and does not rust.

• Efficiency - UHMW paddles are lighter and slicker so material does not stick to them. This reduces drag on the transmission and allows the conveyor to transport more material per revolution

• Lightweight - UHMW is 8 times lighter than steel for more efficient conveying

• Spark-Free - Safer for handling flammable or explosive materials

• Gentler Material Handling - Suitable for agriculture and food processing
