Drawing on over 65 years of composite expertise in manufacturing high performance archery bow limbs - which require consistent, deep deflection under high loads each time the bowstring is pulled - the Gordon Composites team has translated this technology into continuous fiber reinforced composite springs that are specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of vibratory conveyors. High temperature formulations made flat springs an economical option Gordon Composites high-temp springs are specially formulated to withstand temperatures up to 300˚F. With a high-heat flat spring option, manufacturers can potentially reduce overall conveyor system costs compared to higher priced coil spring systems.
