Conveyor rollers coated with MetaLine
IND was contracted to coat a set of thirty conveyor rollers with MetaLine 795, dramatically extending their lifespan and providing key operational advantages.
We worked in collaboration with Global Pumps to provide a highly durable and low friction coating system for an international manufacturer. MetaLine 795 was chosen over traditional rubber lining for the following reasons:
Sprayable: Spray application eliminates the need for any lining joints that are common failure points in traditional rubber linings.
Fast turnaround: MetaLine’s curing time of under 24 hours allowed for a quick turnaround.
Visual wear indication: The use of two distinct coloured coatings provides a visual wear indicator for maintenance teams.
Low friction: The final layer of MetaLine 795 applied was a silicon rich coating that creates an extremely smooth, non-stick layer, dramatically reducing debris buildup during operation.
Surface Preparation and Quality Assurance
Spray application
Each roller is rotated at a consistent rate whilst MetaLine 795 is sprayed on at a uniform thickness.
Two distinctly coloured coatings were used to provide a visual wear indicator:
Red coating: The first coat was applied in red using the standard MetaLine 795.
Green coating: The second coat was applied in green using a silicone rich, low-friction MetaLine 795 used to reduce debris buildup on the rollers during operation.
