Conveyor Solutions by Industry
Conveyor Solutions for Chemical Plants
Chemical plants punish conveyors with corrosive vapours, explosive atmospheres and frequent washdown. We supply nylon and polyethylene idlers, anti-static FRAS rollers, nylon- and plastic-sealed housings and training idlers built for corrosive, hazardous duty.

Why This Industry Is Different
Four Sector-Specific Conveyor Challenges
Every bulk solid wears conveyors differently. Below are the duty conditions we engineer against for this sector.
Corrosive Atmosphere
Acid and alkali vapours rust standard steel idlers and seals within weeks.
Explosive Vapours
Flammable atmospheres demand anti-static, flame-safe components.
Washdown & Hygiene
Frequent cleaning demands non-absorbing, easy-to-sanitise surfaces.
Product Contamination
Metallic wear particles must not enter sensitive chemical streams.
Matched to Your Duty
Products for This Sector
Each component below is selected for the duty described above. Click through for specifications, materials and lead times.
Non-Metallic Idlers
Nylon Idler
Corrosion-proof roller for coastal and washdown duty — no rust, no seizure.
Polyethylene (PE) Idler
Lightweight, chemical-resistant roller for washdown and corrosive zones.
FRAS Rollers & Seals
Polyurethane Friction Idler
Anti-static, low rolling-resistance roller for potentially explosive underground drives and galleries.
Nylon Seal
Corrosion- and abrasion-resistant seal option for wet, chemical-laden duty.
Containment
Plastic Dust Seal
Multi-stage labyrinth + lip seal that blocks slurry and dust from the bearing cavity.
Primary Scraper Cleaner
Removes bulk coal carryback at the head pulley.
Reliable Alignment
Drive Pulley
Rubber-lagged, dynamically balanced pulley for high-torque conveyors.
Spring Training Idler Set
Self-aligning set that corrects mistracking under load.

Common Questions
Sector Conveyor FAQ
What idlers resist acid and alkali corrosion?
Nylon and polyethylene idlers are non-metallic and will not rust or degrade in corrosive chemical atmospheres — ideal for washdown and fume exposure.
Are your rollers anti-static for explosive zones?
Yes. Our polyurethane friction idlers are anti-static for potentially explosive chemical atmospheres, supported by MA certification at company level.
How do you keep washdown clean and sealed?
Non-metallic idlers plus multi-stage nylon/plastic seals shed water and keep process dust out of bearings during frequent cleaning.
Can you avoid metal contamination?
Non-metallic nylon and PE rollers minimise metallic wear particles entering sensitive chemical streams.
