UHMW PLASTICS FABRICATION & MACHINING
Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW) for Low Friction, High Impact, Chemical Intensive Applications
Dale Brisco Inc. designs, manufactures and stocks a variety of high Impact UHMW machined parts for various almond hulling & shelling system applications that are extremely wear resistant, such as detwigger screens. UHMW is ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) polyethylene bar with excellent high abrasion and impact resistance properties.
There are a variety of UHMW applications, including, screens, gears, rollers, wear plates, bearings, and more.

UHMW BENEFITS:
UHMW machined parts will outwear all other materials like metals, nylons, or fluoroplastics. This material has the same qualities of other polyethylene plastics. Since the UHMW material resists wear, corrosion, and friction, it allows for an extended equipment life and can cut maintenance costs.
UHMW APPLICATIONS:
Parts machined from UHMW polyethylene showcase an exceptional combination of outstanding properties. High abrasion resistance, low coefficient of friction, self-lubrication, non-adherent surface, excellent chemical fatigue, impact resistance, ease of machinability, and good noise dampening properties, are all inclusive of UHMW.
Its outstanding characteristics embrace very high resistance to wear and abrasion, and high performance at extraordinarily low temperatures.

FAQs
A: Our laser is best suited for mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and titanium. The waterjet can cut nearly anything. Our plasma is great for mild steel and aluminum and stainless when hole tolerances aren’t as accurate as other processes.
A: Laser 60”x120” Waterjet 48”x96” and Plasma 72”x144”
A: Laser tolerance is typically between .005” and .010” but if necessary we have processed parts within +- .002”. Waterjet is typically suited best for parts between .005” and .015” but it can vary depending on thickness. Plasma tolerances are +- .03125” to +- .0625”
A: All jobs require programming and setup time to load and cut the material. The larger the quantity the better price per part but we run jobs from one off’s to 1,000’s
A: We utilize the latest in CAD software to prepare files for processing. If you need our help drawing a file we would be happy to help. If you have already have one here are the acceptable file types; .dxf, .dwg, .eps, .ai or if you have solid models generated in Solidworks or Inventor we can take those as well.
