Poing, near Munich, July 22nd, 2024. Rubber is the material of choice when it comes to protecting surfaces in conveyor systems for light and medium-weight materials against wear. However, not every rubber is alike and not every elastomer is equally suitable for every requirement. Rico Harting, Product Manager at wear protection specialist REMA TIP TOP, has been developing solutions for efficient and sustainable wear protection in conveyor systems for many years. In this interview, he explains what is important when using rubber linings and why operators should regularly put the wear protection in their systems to the test.
