Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the AS MCW06500 plastic tube cap used for?
A: The AS MCW06500 is a plastic tube cap that seals the ends of gravity conveyor tubes or rollers. It protects against material spillage, prevents dust entry, and helps maintain conveyor cleanliness during operation and storage.
Q: Which gravity conveyor systems use the AS MCW06500?
A: The AS MCW06500 is compatible with standard gravity conveyor tube assemblies across various material handling systems. Confirm the tube diameter and cap opening dimensions match your equipment specification before purchasing.
Q: Why is plastic used for the AS MCW06500 instead of metal?
A: Plastic construction on the AS MCW06500 provides lightweight durability, corrosion resistance, and cost effectiveness. It does not rust or degrade in wet environments and requires no lubrication. Plastic caps are ideal for food, beverage, and cold storage conveyor applications.
Q: Is the AS MCW06500 suitable for cold storage and wet environments?
A: Yes, the AS MCW06500 plastic construction is specifically suitable for cold storage and wet conveyor environments. The material does not become brittle in freezing conditions and resists moisture absorption better than alternative materials.
Q: How often should the AS MCW06500 be replaced?
A: The AS MCW06500 typically lasts 2-4 years depending on handling frequency, conveyor speed, and environmental exposure. Replace if the cap becomes cracked, loses its seal, or no longer fits securely on the tube end.
