Resolving chocolate stoppages on the conveyor line! High-lubrication PEEK coating to prevent tipping.

【Stable Operation】Heavy cardboard slides smoothly! With excellent wear resistance and slip properties, it eliminates snagging and falling issues on dead plates.

In automatic transport lines, including beverage manufacturing plants, the reduction in slip properties of the "dead plate" installed at the joints between conveyors can cause products to snag or topple, leading to serious bottlenecks that result in line stoppages (chocolate stops). This time, we will introduce the resolution of transport troubles using PEEK coating "PEEKCOAT G10." ■ Fusion of the toughness of PEEK resin and the slip properties of fluororesin "PEEKCOAT G10" uniformly combines the excellent lubricity of "fluororesin" within the robust framework of "PEEK resin," which boasts overwhelming toughness. As a result, even in harsh environments where heavy items, such as cardboard containing 2L PET bottles, continuously rub against each other, the film does not wear out and peel off as it does with typical fluororesin coatings. ■ Maintaining lubricity even when worn Even if wear progresses, the fluororesin (lubricating component) uniformly dispersed within the film continues to be exposed, allowing the initial smooth slip properties to be maintained for a long time. This thoroughly eliminates transport delays and damage to workpieces, as well as the associated unexpected downtime, strongly supporting the continuous stable operation and throughput improvement of the entire factory.

basic information

【Series Name】 High-Performance PEEK Coating "PEEKCOAT" 【Applicable Grade】 PEEKCOAT G10 (Special Sliding, High Wear Resistance Type) 【Coating Composition】 Hybrid structure of PEEK resin (wear-resistant, high-hardness framework) × fluororesin (solid lubricant) 【Main Features】 ■ Exceptional Wear Resistance Overwhelming high hardness that is resistant to wear even under continuous sliding of heavy objects. ■ Excellent Slipperiness Low friction characteristics that prevent snagging. ■ Sustained Lubrication Performance Fluororesin is uniformly blended throughout the film (new lubrication surfaces are exposed even after wear). 【Compatible Base Materials】 Metals such as stainless steel and steel (shape and size to be discussed). 【Safety】 Can be safely applied to jigs and parts in food and beverage manufacturing lines.

Applications/Examples of results

【Main Uses】 ■ Automatic transport lines in beverage and food manufacturing factories (conveyor joint components) ■ Dead plates, transfer plates, crossover plates ■ Guide and chute components for heavy workpieces (cases, containers, etc.) that slide at high speed and continuously 【Examples of Implementation】 ■ Applied to the transport line for heavy cardboard cases containing multiple 2L PET bottles. ・Before implementation: With conventional fluororesin coating, the film wore off due to friction within a few months. The exposed metal surface increased friction resistance sharply, causing frequent "choco stops" where cardboard got caught and fell over. Each time, the line had to be stopped, significantly reducing productivity. ・After implementation: By changing to PEEKCOAT G10, the durability was extended up to four times compared to the conventional method. Even after long-term use, the initial smooth sliding performance was maintained, and the risk of snagging and falling was almost zero. Sudden line stoppages decreased dramatically.

Nikken Coating Industry Co., Ltd. has been a specialized manufacturer of functional coatings for contract processing, earning the trust of customers across various industries for 79 years since its founding. We leverage our processing technology to maximize the properties of fluororesins, such as non-stick, lubricity, and chemical resistance, providing high-performance coatings that directly address customer challenges, including "Thermo Pro Release" for thermal welding processes and "NonStick STC" for blades and precision molds. In recent years, in response to movements regarding regulations on fluorinated compounds (PFAS), "PEEK resin," which is gaining attention as a substitute for fluororesins, has become a focus. Nikken Coating Industry commercialized the world's first PEEK resin coating, "PEEKCOAT," in 1999. Based on the solid knowledge and know-how accumulated over more than 20 years, we are further intensifying our research and development efforts to explore the potential of next-generation PEEK coatings! We aim to be recognized as "the go-to for PEEK coatings" and will continue to lead the way. As "the best partner for functional coatings that builds trust through technology," Nikken Coating Industry will continue to contribute to the creation of high-quality, high-performance products.
