ROBALON
An overview of material modifications

ROBALON is a sintered plastic consisting of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE). It is alloyed with molybdenum sulphide,
crosslinkers and UV stabilizers. Röchling LERIPA started manufacturing ROBALON plastic more than 50 years ago. Nowadays, eight different
ROBALON modifications are produced - we can therefore offer the right material for every customer requirement.

All materials are produced in a special long-term sinter pressing process, with very long pressing cycles. Our sintering presses faciliate the
production of 12 m long panels. This process has numerous advantages compared to conventional extrusion, injection moulding or standard
sintering processes.

Semi-finisehd parts / Finished parts

From the simple panel to the complex 5-axis milling part

We live in the plastic age. Plastics are tailor-made and have property profiles that
often outperform traditional materials such as steel, wood or concrete and are there-
fore increasingly replacing them. Today, there is almost no industrial product left that
has not come into direct contact with components made of plastic in its production
process or contains such itself.

We, Röchling LERIPA, are not only concerned with the production of panels, round
rods and profiles, but also with the specific requirements of the industries we supply.
We know which material modification suits best to your application or requirement.

Plastics made for contact

with food
Röchling has numerous plastics for direct contact with food, especially for the food
and beverage industry. They are used in machines for the industrial processing of food
and as cutting surfaces and boards.

We ensure that our plastic products, which are suitable for contact with food, comply
with the requirements of the framework regulation 1935/2004/EC, 10/2011/EU and
2023/2006/EC. The tests were carried out on our products with all necessary simu-
lants under the harshest test conditions in terms of temperature and test duration.

You can be sure that the tested plastics according to our declarations of conformity
are considered to be suitable for contact with all types of food.

Of course, our manufacturing processes are subject to the philosophy of „Good Ma-
nufacturing Practice“ (2023/2006/EC).

Ask for our special brochure on plastics for contact with food!

 Transport and
conveying industry

Screw conveyors

Chain and belt guides

The transport of goods must be fast, reliable and economical. Röchling plas-
Trough linings tics are used as CNC-machined components, milled and extruded profiles, for
example in conveyor and storage systems, chain or roller conveyors, pallet
magazines or shelf elements. The special properties of plastics such as low
sliding friction, high abrasion resistance, impact resistance or even antistatic
adjustment ensure reliable material flow and economical transport processes.

Screw conveyors

Advantages compared to steel screws

• Outstanding wear resistance

(mechanical/chemical)
• Best sliding properties (material to be conveyed/worm screw)
- Energy saving up to 30 % less power consumption
- Practical example (biogas system Lechfeld): current consumption at
the drive: instead of 7A with steel only 5.5A with ROBALON
• Weight saving > 50 % as compared to steel
• Self-cleaning, dirt repellent as well as
no icing in freezing temperatures
• Gentle on sensitive materials being conveyed
• Long lifetime
• Noise damping

Chain and belt guides
Reducing wear and having good sliding properties are the main tasks of the chain,
belt and sliding guides. ROBALON is the perfect material for these applications.

Advantages

• Low coefficient of friction: Energy saving due to low

drive power
• Self-lubricating: No oil lubrication necessary
• High abrasion resistance
• Gentle to the chains: Increases the lifetime of chains
• Low noise operation
• Hydrolysis resistant
• Easy to clean: Dirt repellent properties

For all common types, whether roll (CE, CU, CT, CTT, ...) or link chains, we have the
finished design. Special types on demand.

Request the fitting C-rail!

Trough linings
The highly wear-resistant trough linings made of ROBALON are used in various indus-
tries and transport, among others, the following media:
• Cement
• Quartz sand
• Salts
• Sawdust
• Wood chips
• Liquids, and much more

Due to the variety of materials to be transported, ROBALON requires a wide range of

properties. In e.g. hazardous areas should be used due to its permanently antistatic
property ROBALON-E. And even in extreme weather conditions, outdoor use is no
problem for ROBALON. Special rubble may require special linings. We are happy to
advise you.

Wear indicator
By the appearance of the indicator, so if the lining gets discolored, it can be recog-
nized when the lining has to be renewed.

• Cost savings through early detection

• Easy control of the existing wear layer
• Lining material and indicator are sintered together (homogeneous component) Also available with
wear indicator!

Reverse Engineering
Would you like to digitize any object three-dimensionally, in addition there is no 3D data available? Reverse Engineering at Röchling Leripa
enables the digitization of difficult to detect, large or small objects. The data model can be used for prototypes from the 3D printer or for
machining production.

Step 1
Components of which there are no digital data are op-
Object tically measured with a 3D scanner. All visible surfaces
are recorded.

Step 2
3D scan
3D scanning creates a 3D point cloud of the component
with countless points. The point cloud is then networked.
Machining
Step 3
CAD model A parametric CAD model with all design elements is
being rebuilt. The CAD model can then be used for all
manufacturing processes.
Prototype 3D printed
Step 4
The object can be reproduced as a 3D printed prototype
or a machined part.

Finished parts 3D printed

From the 3D model to the finished component
Today, industrial 3D printing is making an entirely new kind of designing possible.
Completely new objects, that were not possible with the earlier traditional technolo-
gies, are now being created. Together, we bring your new and innovative ideas to life
in 3D printing. As technology leader in plastic processing, Röchling Leripa was quick
to deal with additive layer manufacturing, which produces 3D parts in one processing
step. Röchling Leripa uses the so-called selective laser sintering (SLS). In this 3D
process, spatial structures can be produced from raw material in the form of powder,
using laser rays.

In our competence center for 3D printing in Oepping, we can offer you the production
of small batches of complex components, which can be manufactured in a relatively
short time (Rapid Manufacturing). In addition, we make prototypes that make it pos-
sible to visualize parts that have never been manufactured before, in the literal me-
aning of the word. Within just a short period, you will get a usable model based on
your specifications.

Assembly parts
Whether pre-mounting a screw, positioning a pin, connecting individual components
or assembling entire assemblies. We gladly support you. The welding of ROBALON,
organization of different components (screws, folded sheet metal, ...) as well as the
support in the preparation, with us you receive everything from one hand.

With our numerous partners we also find the optimal solution for you.

Chemical resistance
Due to its unpolar structure, ROBALON demonstrates unusually high resistance to chemicals and other media. It is resistant to
watery solutions of salts, acids and alkalis. ROBALON is resistant to strong oxidants such as nitric acid, ozone, oleum, hydrogen
peroxide or halogens to a limited extent.

Coefficient of friction

*Tested on the Röchling LERIPA Papertech wear simulation machine.

Adjustment parameters: test pieces with a locating surface of 40 x 25 mm (strength 10 mm) were tested in dry running
against sheer sheet steel (S235JR) with a contact pressure of 1N/mm2 and a speed of 2 m/sec. on a slide friction facility.
The average value of the dynamic friction values was then measured and depicted in the table.
