faigle at ProMat 2019 in Chicago - Pioneering rollers for modern sorting systems
faigle, plastic specialists from Austria, is presenting the latest generation of its SE sorter rollers for parcel and baggage sorting systems at ProMat. These rollers meet the most demanding requirements for energy savings, noise reduction and low-vibration operation and their integrated damping system is unprecedented in the area of intra-logistic rollers.

Rollers for sorting systems should have a low starting and rolling resistance, be highly resilient and run quietly. faigle has increased the strength of the rollers by optimising them with structure simulation (FEM) and by using a new combination of materials. faigle uses a support body made of high-strength polyamide and a tire made of polyurethane PAS-PU TCS, which is characterised by high abrasion resistance and a low compression set.
This combination makes it possible to produce narrower rollers, which have a lower rolling resistance. The low compression set prevents the rollers from flattening after a longer standstill, such as at the weekend. Otherwise, this leads to increased energy expenditure when restarting the system.
The new rollers run significantly quieter than previous generations of sorting rollers. The plastics specialists from Austria achieved this by decoupling the "rolling" and "damping" functions. Damping is now carried out by the ingenious "faigle damping system", directly on the non-rotating rolling axis. Since the tire no longer has to perform a damping function, it is narrower and has a lower rolling resistance. They can also be ground for low-noise and low-vibration operation.
The new logistics rollers can be recognised by their attractive colour concept and smooth contours without corrugations. This keeps them clean for longer and makes them easier to clean.
You can find faigle from 8-11 April 2019 at ProMat 2019 in Chicago in the South Hall, booth 2784.
