Working together to understand the unique requirements for the company’s conveyor application, the engineering team at Avient developed customized flat springs that provide more consistent quality and longer fatigue life than the original components, improving conveyor performance and longevity. THE IMPACT Not only did the Gordon Composites vibratory springs outperform the company’s originally specified spring components, they provided a number of additional benefits: Ready-to-install springs reduced labor and simplified installation Unlike alternative springs, Gordon Composites springs are factory machined to the required size and pre- drilled for a significant reduction in cutting and drilling processes and allowing valuable labor time to be allocated elsewhere.

Propellers made from polymer composites have a number of benefits over steel and aluminum alternatives, including improved impact resistance and vibration damping properties. And, because they are formed by injection molding, long fiber reinforced thermoplastics can be easily customized to specific design requirements.

Vikas Vij, managing director for PolyOne in India, adds, “India offers many growth opportunities for our customers, and this facility provides room for expansion as well. Based on customers’ high level of interest, future additions may include Therma-Tech™ thermally conductive formulations and LubriOne™ wear-resistant materials.” About PolyOne PolyOne Corporation, with 2015 revenues of $3.4 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.
