The extremely wear-resistant, ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) SIMONA® PE 1000 can be used to improve the economic efficiency and performance of conveying systems. This is why the material is very popular with designers of food processing, packaging and filling facilities. For plant operators, loud noises, wear on contact parts or over-elongated chains are often problems that can also result in occasional production standstills. SIMONA® PE 1000 is the material of choice to prevent expensive downtimes. In the EU and USA there are various directives and laws governing materials that come into contact with foodstuffs. SIMONA® PE 1000 is suitable for direct contact with food and also meets the requirements of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
