Slide Strips for Conveyor and Material Handling Systems

item® Slide Strips are essential components of conveyor systems, designed to ensure smooth product movement, reduce friction and protect structural components from wear. They are widely used in belt conveyors, chain conveyors, suspended conveyor systems and material handling solutions for containers, pallets and manufactured products. 

Manufactured from high-performance engineering polymers, slide strips provide a low coefficient of friction, excellent wear resistance and long service life, even in demanding industrial environments. They help reduce the load on drive systems, improve conveyor efficiency and minimize maintenance requirements. 

Thanks to the modular item® system, slide strips can be easily integrated into existing conveyor installations and adapted to specific production and logistics requirements. 

Types of Slide Strips item® 

Slide Profiles: Core components used to support and guide conveyor belts, chains and transported products. 

Belt Conveyor Guides: Provide stable belt movement while reducing wear on conveyor belts and supporting structures. 

Chain Conveyor Guides: Designed to support and guide conveyor chains throughout transport systems. 

Side Guide Strips: Used to position products accurately and prevent unwanted movement during transportation. 

Replaceable Wear Inserts: Allow worn sections to be replaced quickly without dismantling the entire conveyor structure. 

Specialized Solutions: Components developed for high-speed conveyor systems, complex transport routes and specialized industrial applications.
