THE CHALLENGE Vibratory conveyors are frequently used to process a variety of materials, from heavy duty powder and bulk solids to delicate berries and potato chips.

These braces, traditionally made with steel, were initially fabricated from aluminum for a solid weight savings of 3 kg per vehicle over steel versions.

In addition, the Syncure resin is compatible with a broad range of catalysts, allowing processors to stock and use a singular graft solution to produce a wide range of solid, coextruded profiles, films, or injection molded parts.

THE IMPACT The main objective of this development work was to provide an alternative to one-piece solid aluminum and stainless-steel props while enabling similar performance.
