Polyplastics' DURACON® POM Innovates Track Transport Systems

In a groundbreaking development, Polyplastics Co., Ltd. has announced that its DURACON® POM resin has been selected for a revolutionary track transport system created by CuboRex Co., Ltd., a leading provider of innovative mobility solutions based in Tokyo. This unique transportation system offers substantial enhancements in efficiency within factories and construction sites, surpassing traditional wheel-equipped carts, thanks to its all-terrain capabilities.

The Selection of DURACON® POM

DURACON® POM was specifically chosen for the white components of the transport tracks due to its impressive load-bearing capacity which ensures it can endure the weight of heavy materials commonly handled in manufacturing settings. This resin not only features outstanding friction properties, providing stability during both static and dynamic operations but is also recognized for its durability and reliability, even in challenging environments. The selection followed thorough comparative testing with alternative materials like nylon (PA), solidifying DURACON® POM's status as the optimal choice.

Enhanced Track Design

The incorporation of tracks from CuboRex into existing carts is notably effortless. The design enhances the surface area in contact with the ground which significantly lowers the pressure exerted per unit area, in turn reducing friction and minimizing sinking. This improvement dramatically lightens the operational force required, leading to smoother movements even on stairs and uneven terrain. Furthermore, the maneuverability in turns is enhanced, allowing operators to navigate corners that were previously challenging with conventional wheels, thereby decreasing operator exertion and streamlining processes.

Collaboration with tow cranes and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) has been optimized, preventing delays associated with stops or load drops. This advancement is perfectly timed, as the demand for advanced material handling systems is on the rise, indicating substantial potential, particularly within the Japanese market.

Cost Efficiency and Expanded Applications

The introduction of tracks for carts effectively reduces the need for new transport carts, resulting in a significant boost to operational efficiency while leveraging current equipment. This solution not only reduces costs but also enhances safety features, capturing vast potential in global markets. Expected applications span across logistics, manufacturing, construction, and various other sectors.

This case exemplifies how material selection can revolutionize productivity on-site, proving that it transcends merely providing materials. The DURACON® POM was a pivotal asset backing CuboRex's innovative ideas, significantly promoting transportation operation efficiency.
