Ertalyte (PET) Plastic

Ertalyte (PET) natural-white / black

The specific properties of this virgin crystalline PET makes it especially
suitable for the manufacture of mechanical precision parts which have to
sustain high loads and/or are subject to wear.

Ertalyte TX (PET+solid lubricant) pale grey

Ertalyte TX is a polyethylene terephthalate compond incorporating a
uniformly dispersed solid lubricant. Its specific formulation makes it a
premium lubricated bearing grade. Ertalyte TX not only has an outstanding
wear resistance, but offers in comparison with Ertalye an even lower
coefficient of friction as well as higher pressure-velocity capabilities.
Availability Sheet/Plates:Thickness 2-100mm, Rods: Diameter 10-210mm.

Common Uses for Ertalyte (PET) Plastic

Ertalyte used in bakery machine - dough portioning mould & ejector pistons

In a bakery machine, the dough is pressed into a rotating shaping mould and
the different shaped portions are then pushed out onto the conveyor belt by
means of pistons. Ertalyte was selected because of its good machinability
and food contact compliant composition for the manufacture of the
portioning mould and the ejector pistons.

The main benifits besides its excellent wear resistance assuring a constant
weight of the dough portions, Ertalyte shows good release properties, and
high dimensional stability (hardly any moisture absorption).

Ertalyte TX Square Piston Application

The dough in a volumetric dosing machine is pressed into 6 small dosing
chambers. In each chamber a plastics piston is moving back and forth,
pushing out the right portion of dough. Ertalyte TX was selected because of
its excellent wear resistance, sliding and release properties, dimensional
stability (no jamming of the piston) and its food contact compliant
composition. The benefits included the reduction of maintenance and design
costs, no corrosion problem like aluminium, food contact compliance, hygiene
and safety performances along with considerable weight reduction.
