Engineered Plastic Solutions for Packaging & Conveyor Systems

At Lehigh Valley Plastics, we deliver high-performance plastic components engineered for the demanding environments of material handling. From packaging lines to conveyor systems, our precision-machined parts are built for durability, efficiency, and long-lasting performance.

With deep knowledge of industry requirements and extensive machining capabilities, we support OEMs and equipment manufacturers with reliable solutions tailored to the fast-moving world of material handling.

Whether you’re designing high-speed packaging systems or complex conveyor assemblies, our expertise ensures smooth operation, reduced wear, and lower maintenance costs — all with materials built to handle the pressure.

Why Plastics Are Essential in Material Handling

High-performance plastics are a smart choice for material handling equipment due to their unique properties: low friction, excellent wear resistance, high impact strength, and corrosion resistance. These materials perform in environments where traditional metals wear out, seize, or require constant lubrication.

We work with a wide range of engineering plastics optimized for these applications, including:

• Nylon (PA) (Nylatron™, TECAMID®, Sustamid®) – Strong, wear-resistant, and ideal for moving parts
• UHMW (TIVAR™, TECAFINE™, Polystone® M) – Ultra-low friction, impact-resistant, and abrasion-resistant
• Acetal (POM) (Acetron™, TECAFORM®, Sustarin®)– Low moisture absorption, excellent dimensional stability
• Polycarbonate (TUFFAK®, TECANAT®, Sustanat® PC) – Transparent, tough, and impact-resistant
• PET (Ertalyte™, TECAPET®, Sustadur® PET)– High dimensional stability and wear resistance under load
• PEEK (Ketron™, TECAPEEK®, SustaPEEK) – Exceptional strength, chemical resistance, and thermal stability

Plastics Offer Major Advantages in Material Handling Applications:

• Lightweight and corrosion-resistant
• Low friction and self-lubricating options
• Excellent wear and impact resistance
• FDA-compliant and food-safe options available
• Lower cost of fabrication vs. metals
• High design flexibility for custom components
