A leading Australasian supplier of some of the world’s most advanced engineering plastics has staged a precision installation of advanced machining facilities used to produce top quality light and strong engineering components and finished products.

A new low-friction engineering plastic liner for high-temperature applications is being introduced to Australia by Cut To Size Plastics Pty Ltd.

A new addition to one of the world’s leading ranges of tough but outstandingly light high-flow engineering plastic liners is being introduced to Australia by Cut To Size Plastics Pty Ltd for uses such as bulk handling, automation and road, rail and port loading facilities.

As miners drill and blast deeper and further afield to take advantage of demand for coal, wear problems are arising from rocky and wet material recovered from new, extended and reopened mines.

Engineered plastics have been making strong headway into food and beverage production, processing and packaging markets because they are light, tough, low-friction and harmonise well with automation and rapid washdown needs to achieve efficiencies while maintaining hygiene and safety standards.

Noise can be a major safety hazard in industrial and resources processing, production automation and transport logistics plants, where the sound of heavy materials handling machinery operating can distract attention from the job in hand and drown out the sound of malfunctioning machines, alarm signals or a warning shouts.

A hugely durable reinforced plastic composite that weighs less than aluminium but has up to 10 times the specific strength of 1020 steel is being offered by Cut To Size Plastics for demanding rail and associated electrical and materials handling applications.
