System Plast® Nolu®-SX Neck Guides
Nolu-SX Neck Guides are used to guide containers, especially PET, in applications such as air conveying. Many air conveyor users and manufacturers have found that brush guides tend to get contaminated with debris. This causes increased friction and marking of PET bottles. Also the bristles can wear quickly and/or fall out.
Nolu-SX neck guides are extruded with a proprietary material that blend of UHMW and other dry lubricants that maintain excellent wear characteristics while significantly reducing coefficients of friction. Its unique self-lubricating properties make it ideal for applications requiring reduced friction, noise reduction, and higher dry-running speeds.
Nolu-SX neck guides also contain a material blend that reduces the thermal expansion characteristics of the material. The thermal expansion is reduced up to 40% compared to standard UHMW products, making it the ideal neck guide.
