Engineered Polyurethane Protects High Wear Surfaces
 ✖  |
“Kryptane Xtreme is highly resistant to abrasive products such as rock, gravel, sand and grain and can be easily custom-formed to fit chutes, spouts, elbows and distributors,” says Doug Maves of Argonics Engineered Polyurethane. “It offers long-lasting wear protection, reduces material hang-up, it’s easy to install and reduces noise levels.”
Because of its extreme wear resistance, Maves says products made with Kryptane are also immune to cracks, tearing, breaking, temperature cycles and sunlight. Charles Pratt, an independent supplier and manufacturer of conveyor and bulk handling equipment, says “we found that Kryptane urethane skirtings on the outside of a conveyor can last 10 to 15 times longer than rubber, and compared to a steel liner inside, can last 5 to 8 times as long.”
Similar results were shown at a farmer-owned cooperative that moved more than 43 million bushels of grain through its Kryptane-lined system and reported very little sign of wear.
Love says installation of the 3/16 to 1-in. thick Kryptane is easy because material can be bolted in with polyurethane-coated fasteners, glued or welded in place. It’s available in rolls or in 4 by 8-ft., 4 by 10-ft., 5 by 8-ft. and 5 by 10-ft. sheet sizes. Kryptane is also used to make extreme wear resistant idler wheels, flanged rollers, nose rollers and specialty rollers for high abrasion applications.
