Proud to present DRX (Dry Run eXtra)
A revolutionary material engineered to meet the demands of high-speed, dry-running conveyor applications. Designed for the bottling, canning, and glass container industries, DRX sets a new benchmark in performance, sustainability, and operational efficiency.
Why DRX?
In today’s fast-paced production environments, stability, hygiene, and cost-efficiency are non-negotiable. DRX delivers on all fronts:
- Ultra-Low Friction: With a Coefficient of Friction (COF) as low as 0.1, DRX ensures smoother product flow, reducing energy consumption and minimizing bottle instability.
- Extended Lifespan: DRX lasts up to twice as long as traditional POM-LF materials, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
- PFAS-Free & FDA-Approved: Compliant with the latest environmental and safety standards.
- Eco-Friendly: Eliminates the need for wet or dry lubrication, saving water and reducing contamination risks.
- Quieter Operations: Up to 15% noise reduction for a safer, more comfortable working environment.
- Superior Wear Resistance: 50% less wear compared to leading alternatives, ensuring long-term reliability.
- Built for Performance: DRX is based on a specially formulated PBT compound with next-generation additives, offering:Temperature resistance from -40°C to 120°C dry, and up to 60°C wet. Compatibility with PET, aluminium cans, and one-way glass containers. Resistance to Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂) used in aseptic cleaning lines.
Applications
DRX is ideal for:
- PET Bottling Lines – improving hygiene and reducing water usage.
- Canning Lines – enhancing wear life in high-speed operations.
- One-Way Glass Lines – boosting energy efficiency and safety.
