FRP Metal-Parts Wash-Boxes
Molded Fiber Glass Tray Company
high-strength fiber-reinforced
polymer (FRP) composite metalparts
wash-boxes cost approximately
1/3 the price of traditional stainless
steel models. Designed to handle heavy
payloads (150 lb. capacity), they are
engineered to withstand small-part
washing system chemicals and provide
continuous operation at temperatures to
350 F. By minimizing the “dumps” from
high-speed conveyor-to-container, use
of these lighter-weight units requires less
labor and reduces part damage/scrap.

Steel Bearing
Alternatives
SKF’s MRC® hybrid ceramic ball bearings combine traditional steel rings with nonconductive silicon nitride balls. This combination facilitates insulating properties to prevent electrical arcing and associated surface damage. Bearings provide ideal “drop-in” replacement solutions within existing design envelopes. According to the company, these ceramic components are lighter, harder and more durable than all-steel bearings, and can run at higher speeds and lower operating temperatures.
