Custom-Fit Solutions For Multi-Industry Applications

Polyball™ Technical Information

Selecting Polyballs™ the proper screening machine and other industrial separation equipment for any application requires careful evaluation of many variables – feed rate, vibrating speed of the machine, screen mesh size, capacity, accuracy of separation, and the countless sizes and shapes of material. At Americule, we help create a custom-fit solution that best meets the unique needs of your application.

Polyball™ compounds can be used in gyratory, vibratory, and pressurized screeners and are available in specific compounds. They have been tested according to ASTM standards.
Polyballs are high-bounce polyurethane screen cleaning balls that are FDA acceptable for direct food contact.

Polyballs™ from Americule are produced as solid, elastomeric polyurethane with extraordinarily efficient temperature and endurance properties.

We added the magnetic steel core Polyball™ to our product line for companies with magnetic separators or metal detectors. This provides for greater safety and effectiveness than balls without steel cores. There is no need for in-line magnetic traps that normally capture particles, chips, and fragments of other balls which escape the ball tray and enter your product stream. Testing conducted at a leading manufacturer found excellent detection results when the Polyballs™ were mixed in with dry, non-conductive products.

Polymax Technical Information

A lot of thought goes into choosing the right product for the job. Americule’s unique Polymax material is tough enough, hard enough and strong enough. You name it–it’s Enough!

The Polymax  mallet head outlasts rubber 3-to-1, reducing the need for replacement. It’s resilient to cutting and chipping, spark free and doesn’t leave scuff marks behind. Polymax heads reduce workplace noise.

Polymax pipes provide a superior method of moving viscous fluids and particulates. The highly abrasion resistant pipes, elbows and other reducers outlast and are easier to replace than heavier steel counterparts.

Americule’s Polymax wear plates are the toughest on the market. They combine the perfect hardness of ceramic tiles and the flexibility of the urethane to make them top-of-the-line.

The amber-colored thermoset elastomer, made to hardnesses of 60D and 95A, gets the job done in a number of industries from steel rule die to oil and gas. The Polymax material itself is FDA acceptable, which means it can be used in the food industry.
