Plastic CNC Machined Service

Our May Wes division pioneered the application of UHMW poly in the ag industry. UHMW is used to make G4 Stalk Stompers to protect combine tires and tracks, skid shoes, auger trough liners, and much more. May Wes products have been featured by the Minnesota Millennial Farmer.

Heavy duty UHMW plastic is used in a wide range of recreational products, including snowmobile skis, bogey wheels, idler arms, drive sprockets, rollers, skateboard wheels, playground equipment, sail tracks, boat hulls, ATV skid plates, marine dock fenders, golf ball cores, snowboards, and  even fishing line.

UHMW-PE is used across a wide range of transportation industries, including railroad, ocean freight hauling, aerospace, and trucking. Applications include tank and rail car liners, ship rudder bearings, skid plates, fifth wheel plates, coupler wear plates, bolster bowl wear liners, drawbar savers and much more. Its slick and durable properties speed up the loading and unloading of bulk material and protect expensive equipment. 

Cities and contractors often place a UHMW poly cutting edge on snowplows, bulldozers and skid steer buckets to protect pavement and extend the life of road surfaces. Additional applications include dump truck bed liners, belly pads, wear pads on excavator tracks and much more. Snowplow cutting edges can be custom ordered on.

Lawnmower striping rollers are over-molded with UHMW-PE for its durability. 

UHMW-PE is often used in wastewater treatment facilities, particularly for sedimentation and clarifier tank components. It also is used in the solid waste handling industry to extend the service life of equipment, dampen sound and move waste more efficiently. It does not absorb water and is resistant to most chemicals. 

Natural virgin UHMW-PE is USDA and FDA approved for direct food contact. Its self-lubricating property eliminates the need for grease and oil lubrication. UHMW is non-porous and can be cleaned with water and steam as well as disinfectants and detergents. UHMW parts for food handling, processing and packaging include bushings and hearing, timing screws, drive sprockets, bumper and sorter push blocks, wear strips and plates, cutting boards and more.

UHMW-PE parts are commonly used for maintenance, repair and overhaul operations, including wear pads, sheaves, pulleys, gears and machine guards. 

UHMW’s slick and durable properties improve the performance and efficiency and extend the life of conveying systems. UHMW also is self-lubricating and is an excellent sound and vibration dampener. It is commonly used for a wide range of conveyor components including sprockets, chain guides, wear plates, rollers, drag flights and paddles, truck bedliners, side rails and skirtboards, dragline bucket liners and more. 

UHMW-PE is commonly used in the mining industry due its impact and wear resistance, ability to facilitate efficient flow of materials by preventing bridging, sticking, holdup, friction and heat, as well as its ability to dampen noise and vibration. Common mining applications for UHMW poly include chute, hopper and bin liners, belt scrapers, chain guides, machinery protection, and much more. 

UHMW-PE is commonly used in the production, shipping and storage of coal. Its slippery surface prevents wet coal from sticking, making handling much more efficient. UHMW-PE increases productivity, and lowers labor, energy and maintenance costs at every step of the way in coal production, from mining operations to railcar delivery. 

Slippery and durable UHMW-PE is an excellent choice for aggregate operations. Even wet sand that would stick to metal flows easily on UHME-PE. Common aggregate applications for UHMW-PE include bucket conveyors, conveyor belt rollers, chain guides and sprockets, wear plates, idler rollers, pulleys, shaker screen guides and bars, and much more. 

UHMW-PE is commonly used in sawmills to protect conveying systems and for noise abatement. 

This high performance engineered plastic is well suited for oil and gas exploration applications that require low friction and ability to resist abrasion. UHMW-PE parts stand up to harsh weather and extremely cold temperatures. Oil and gas industry parts made from UHMW include outrigger pads, hold down bars, valves, seals and much more. 

UHMW-PE is resistant to many chemicals, including alkalis and acids, degreasers and organic solvents, making it well-suited for chemical applications.
