Common Uses for Nylon 6 Cast Plastic
Curve Drum using Nylon 6 PLA (Ertalon 6 PLA)
Application example for cast nylon 6 can be found in a curved drum for a
chicken processing line. The cutting tools move up and down driven by
rollers moving in the slots of a cam drum. These tools are used for cutting
the chicken into pieces.
Ertalon 6 PLA was selected, due to its excellent wear resistance and its
food contact compliant composition. Cast Nylon 6 is the only material
available in the sizes requested for the drums.
The key benefits for using cast nylon 6 in this application was noise
dampening, good impact resistance and availability of larger sizes.
