Polyurethane Scraper Blades

CMP manufactures all types of polyurethane scraper blades, in a range of shore hardness and colours to suit your requirements.

One of the main uses for polyurethane scraper blades is to replace components in fixed bar box scraper blades within farm, grounds maintenance, and road contracting equipment. You can also commonly find fixed bar box scrapers on building sites and scraper blades also feature in mining and quarrying operations.

Description

The various pieces of agricultural equipment and commercial machinery that rely on scraper blades all have one thing in common. They need a robust, long-term option that won’t let them down.

 

This means that increasingly, polyurethane is being seen as the best material for scraper blades. Let’s explore the advantages of polyurethane for this particular product and its many applications. As well as the options available to commission bespoke moulded polyurethane parts for this purpose.

 

Parts for agricultural and site maintenance machinery

 

Polyurethane scraper blades would be used for ripping and levelling surfaces, or for finish grading and backfilling.

 

The variety of purposes they serve – from smoothing outdoor arenas to heavy-duty farm work shows the myriad of types of machinery blades that need to be replaced. Their specifications can vary in terms of dimensions, but also levels of flexibility and elasticity.

 

It also illustrates the diverse substrates that your blades could encounter – from mud to dry gravel, and from farm soil to debris on construction and mining sites.

 

Why specify polyurethane for Scraper Blades?

 

A massive advantage of commissioning scraper blades made of polyurethane is the infinite ways this base material can be mixed to produce the right performance factors.

 

The result is a range of shore hardness, depending on how resistant you need them to be to indentation, and what sort of substance you are scraping.

 

With increased elasticity built-in they can even cut down on resistance and abrasion if they are passing over easy-to-damage surfaces.

 

It is possible for us to precision cut polyurethane blades to match every type of cutting, scraping and levelling equipment, using specially formulated compounds and high-tech moulding techniques (the same applies to blades for wiping or moving items carefully along conveyor belts).

 

There are some more advantages of using polyurethane scraper blades too. These include the incredible durability and tensile strength of this option. It is highly resistant to damage from extreme temperatures, excessive moisture and long-term use.

 

The same can not be said of rubber blades, even when they are specified using high-grade rubber.

 

This all means that you will have scraper blades that last, minimising the need to dismantle agriculture and construction equipment to replace this component. Offering you less downtime, waste and potential for blades to snap, distort or fail to fulfil their function.

 

There are more great reasons to commission custom moulded polyurethane scraper blades too. They will offer a valuable level of resistance to oil, fuel and chemicals. This is another way in which this material can ensure that your box scraper blades last longer than rubber ones, and provide you with unfailing reliability in equipment that operates in heavy-duty situations.
