Plastic sprockets are commonly used as an alternative to metal sprockets in power transmission and roller chain applications. Manufactured from cast oil-filled nylon. They offer a wide range of benefits over traditional metal counterparts, such as self-lubricating properties and a reduced coefficient of friction. This helps reduce wear on the plastic chain and noise levels of the application. Other benefits include better resistance to corrosion, increased impact strength. And lighter weight than metal alternatives. Split sprockets can also be supplied for applications whereby the machinery is not able to be dismantled. They are provided in two halves and can be assembled around the installation, removing the need for equipment to be taken apart.

Advancement

Plastics combine the strength of steel with the lightness of aluminum. The wheels are lightweight, easy to clean, durable, and offer excellent wear resistance. This provides manufacturers of food handling equipment with a reliable and versatile component for various food preparation and transportation systems. Compared to metal sprockets, plastic create less wear on the chain, hold up to cleaning solutions better than carbon steel, and are more economical than stainless steel. To learn more about the different types of sprockets and other plastic components for food industry systems and applications, please get in touch with us.
We Also Can Supply the Matching 810/520 Series Single Hinge Straight Running Plastic Flat Top Chains(link).

In order to meet the diversified needs of customers, we provide sprocket made of industrial plastics. Compared with traditional metal sprockets, plastic sprockets usually show advantages in performance and durability. The benefits of using plastic sprockets include extended chain life, corrosion resistance, light weight, and reduced noise. Our plastic chain wheels are made of materials approved by USDA/FDA for food or drug processing and packaging. Snap rings and grease grooves, special notches and special tooth sizes are also available. Martin can make products with several types of plastics, including nylon, UHMW, acetal, and PTFE ®、 Polypropylene.
