Polyurethane Solutions Built Around Industrial Performance Problems
EPE develops polyurethane components for applications where wear, impact, sealing, cleaning, material flow and custom component performance directly affect plant reliability.
From problem to component
The right polyurethane solution starts with the application, not the catalogue
A liner, scraper, skirting strip, impact bar or custom part only performs properly when its material behaviour, geometry and fixing method match the conditions on site. EPE focuses on the operating problem first, then designs and manufactures polyurethane components around practical performance requirements.
Core Engineering Solution Areas
These solution areas connect EPE’s application knowledge to the specialist brand ranges and custom manufacturing capabilities.
Wear Protection
Polyurethane liners, sheets and wear components for abrasive sliding, impact and material-contact applications.
- Chute liners
- Sheets and panels

- Screening surfaces
Conveyor Performance
Scrapers, skirting, impact bars and support components that improve belt reliability, cleaning and housekeeping.
- Primary and secondary scrapers
- Skirting
- Impact bars
- Transfer-point components
Material Flow & Containment
Polyurethane components that assist with flow, sealing, spillage control, dust reduction and material movement.
- Load-zone sealing
- Flow liners
- Containment surfaces
- Anti-stick applications
Custom Polyurethane Components
Cast, moulded, machined and converted polyurethane parts developed around customer drawings, samples or site requirements.
- OEM parts
- Custom hardness
- Machined PU
- Special geometry components
Impact & Load Zone Protection
Energy-absorbing polyurethane components for loading points, transfer zones and equipment exposed to repeated impact.
- Impact bars
- Impact beds
- Buffers
- Load support components
Sealing & Interface Components
Flexible, durable polyurethane parts for sealing, containment, contact surfaces and equipment interfaces.
- Conveyor skirting
- Seals
- Pads
- Low-marking components
Material and Design Options
Polyurethane performance is shaped by material selection, formulation, geometry and installation method. These decisions should be made deliberately.
Hardness
Select shore hardness around abrasion, flexibility, load and sealing behaviour.
Colour
Use colour for visibility, identification, wear indicators or process requirements.
Additives
Consider UV-stable, anti-static, fire-retardant, antibacterial or food-grade options where appropriate.
Fixing Method
Design for bolt-on, bond-on, embedded inserts, slots, rails, magnets or custom installation methods.
How EPE Develops an Engineering Solution
The process is practical and site-aware: understand the failure mode, select material behaviour, design the interface and improve from field performance.
Define the failure mode
Identify whether the issue is wear, impact, sealing, carryback, load, contamination or fit.
Match the material behaviour
Select polyurethane hardness, formulation and structure around the operating environment.
Design the component interface
Resolve geometry, fixing method, tolerance, replacement access and maintenance realities.
Manufacture and improve
Produce the component, review field performance and refine future specifications where needed.
