CASE STUDY: GORDON COMPOSITES™ VIBRATORY CONVEYOR SPRINGS Challe nge Accepted. Fiber reinforced composites are a popular material of choice for reliable performance, providing high flexural strength and excellent resistance to heat, moisture, and chemical exposure. 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.

Compared to traditional pole materials, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are more durable, require less maintenance, and provide a longer service life. Our pultruded composite materials are proudly made in the USA in Birmingham, Alabama. FRP data are from tests--nominal fiber stress is at 5% LEL; modulus of elasticity is at mean.
