Murtfeldt solutions for the automotive industry
Plastic solutions across the supply chain
With its shift away from internal combustion engines towards e-mobility, the transition taking place in the automotive industry is enormous . But plant efficiency and energy conservation continue to play important roles within this new approach to mobility.
Murtfeldt’s engineering plastics have grown in relevance in this area over the last decades. Thanks to their modifiable properties, sensitive surfaces, and minimal weight, they have become indispensable in the automotive industry. Our specifically developed plastics feature impressive slide properties and wear resistance thanks to their consistently low coefficient of sliding friction without the need for silicone. Optimised slide properties are also achieved with sliding partners made from POM or PP, which increase the dynamic load-bearing capacity of conveyor systems. In addition, maintenance is also less intensive thanks to reduced abrasion.

New technologies need new solutions – an example
The transition towards e-mobility also requires changes within plant technology and design. Heavier components, such battery stacks, which have to be handled now, pose new challenges for intralogistics. Plastics used in conveying applications also need to withstand increased loads and surface pressures. We work with you to design materials for your plant retrofit. The ever-increasing number of new electronic components in vehicles also requires a completely new approach. ESD protection, for example, plays a crucial part here. Modified Murtfeldt plastics fulfil key functions in this regard as well.
