Conveyor expertise broadens Dotmar’s range

Australian high performance plastics engineering specialist, Dotmar EPP has substantially expanded its family of materials handling and product processing capabilities with world class ranges targeting food and beverage innovators.

Its internationally respected ranges of low-friction chains, belts and conveyor system components, including System Plast (Flexon), Eurobelt and Okartek technologies, apply to industries such as beverages, bottling, brewing, canning, food, primary product processing and packaging.

Dotmar EPP general manager sales, Mr Scott Foster says: “World renowned materials handling systems, such as Systemplast are an outstanding fit with our own national network’s expertise in such industries. They enable us to present an even more formidable package of integrated skills, extending from design support, specification and fabrication of finished plastic parts.”

Flexon/System Plast is one of Europe’s most advanced suppliers of low-friction non-metallic chains and belts. System Plast Flexon NG (new generation) chain is a revolutionary step in plastics that has great advantages in conveyor applications, offering wear life double that of conventional low friction products while delivering higher pressure and velocity limits to give better speeds and extremely low noise without powdering.

Eurobelt’s polypropylene systems are a advanced modular design based on more than 25 years experience in demanding applications typically involving caustic washes, such as the handling of meat, fish, fruit, vegetables and other primary produce. With branches throughout Australia and New Zealand, Dotmar EPP is Australia’s leading specialist supplier of thermoplastics used to promote hygiene, safety and rugged long life.

Specialist products include: Tygaflor non-stick fabrics, Cutrite (P500) optimum hygiene cutting surfaces while the challenges of highly corrosive environments are answered by Engineering Plastics, such as the versatile families of Polystone (PE), Ertalon (PA) and Ertacetal (POM) plastics are replacing metals, old-generation plastics and more expensive products that have been used for decades.
