General mechanical engineering

In the field of general mechanical and plant engineering, constructions made of steel, non-ferrous metals and metal alloys have a long and proven tradition. Due to their high mechanical strength and hardness, they have guaranteed durability and solidity. However, the machines and systems of the future must also be characterised by high energy efficiency, even faster cycle times and output rates as well as high availability and low maintenance costs.

Technical solutions made of plastic help to fulfil these ever-increasing demands on mechanical and plant engineering. In particular, the good specific strength of engineering plastics, their sometimes exceptional corrosion resistance and their dry and emergency running properties make them sought-after materials for new, pioneering designs.

For decades, POLYTRON has been a pioneer for solutions in which designs made from conventional materials are replaced by those made from speciality and high-performance plastics. The focus here is not only on issues of mass reduction and corrosion resistance. Increasingly, plastics are also being used in areas subject to thermal stress, in highly dynamic systems and/or to ensure controlled static dissipation. POLYTRON supports its customers not only in production, but also in the selection and application of suitable plastics.
