HMWPE Conveyors

At UPM Conveyors, we specialise in designing and manufacturing bespoke conveyor systems that deliver performance, hygiene, and reliability. Our HMWPE (High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) conveyors are engineered with precision to eliminate the need for traditional belt tracking and tensioning, providing a robust, low-maintenance solution ideal for food processing and high-care environments.

Innovative Design for Maximum Efficiency

Each HMWPE conveyor is built with side frames produced from High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, which offers exceptional durability and hygiene. These side frames are precisely cut using our in-house router, allowing the integration of machined channels on either side to accurately locate and guide the belt.
This advanced design provides flexibility for angle changes and swan neck conveyor configurations, ensuring smooth product transfer with minimal operator intervention.

Hygienic & Easy to Maintain

Maintenance and cleaning are made simple with our manually operated tension release arms, designed using top dead centre logic. This mechanism enables quick belt release without the need for special tools, allowing full access for deep cleaning and inspection.

This ease of cleaning helps operators maintain strict hygiene standards, making UPM’s HMWPE conveyors a preferred choice for food and beverage processing applications.
