Custom Technical Items in Thermoplastic and Elastomeric Materials

Since 1977

Custom Technical Items Production

LIMA, thanks to the technologies and experience at its disposal, is capable of producing custom technical items in thermoplastic and elastomeric materials, respecting tolerances down to a hundredth of a millimeter and executing even highly complex geometries.

Thermoplastic materials are increasingly being requested in industrial applications for their performance in terms of wear resistance, elasticity, thermal resistance, dimensional stability, resistance to stresses, friction behavior, sliding capability, rigidity, and resistance to chemical and atmospheric agents.

A wide range of technical items can be made from plastic materials, enabling the proper functioning of machinery, plants, and production lines on both small and large scales.

Fields of application

Industrial sector, but not only

The fields of application are numerous: chemical plants, earth-moving machines, hydraulic presses, packaging and bottling machinery, conveyor belts, frames, machinery for producing personal hygiene items, printing presses, harvesting machines, filter presses, food cooking lines, mixers, bagging machines, elevator doors.


The unique characteristics of thermoplastic materials make their use possible in every industrial sector, regardless of the challenges and working conditions involved: for each application, there is a plastic material capable of ensuring excellent, reliable, and durable performance.

Technical items for handling

Types:

Wheels and Rollers | Augers | Bushings | Gears | Pulleys and Sheaves | Slides, Guides, and Tracks | Cylinders | Diverters and Deflectors | Conveyors and Aligners | Pickers and Dispensers | Rewinders and Positioners | Trolleys, Levers, and Hubs | Propellers | Pins | Skids | Custom industrial gaskets

Rotation, Translation, Transport, Oscillation, Divergence.

For a machine to function properly, it is essential to ensure the smooth movement of both the parts that make up the machine and the product it processes. More and more frequently, this task is entrusted to plastic components, which provide excellent wear resistance, low friction coefficients, good sliding behavior, and high rigidity.

Technical Fixing Components

Types:

Brackets, Crossbars, and Strips | Spacers and Blocks | Rods | Squares | Washers | Pins | Supports and Blocks | Hooks | Collars | Plates and Stops | Separators and Levelers | Plates | Platforms | Trays, Saddles, and Bases | Forks and Pliers | Clamps | Tensioners | Industrial seals to drawing

Fixing, Locking, Assembly.

An industrial machine, whether small or large, is made up of a vast number of components, all of which must be securely locked and assembled to perfection in order to prevent the machine from malfunctioning over time. Proper fixing of the parts can be ensured by technical plastic items, particularly suited for working conditions where performance in terms of resistance to stresses, shock absorption, resilience, elongation at break, and elasticity plays a crucial role.

Items for Handling

Types:

Casings and Panels | Bellows | Coatings | Supports | Walls | Heads | Enclosures

Caps and Shells | Domes | Sides and Frames | Bumpers and Splash Guards | Pads

Armour | Blade Covers and Spring Covers | Masks | Covers

Protection from Impacts, Chemical Agents, and Atmospheric Agents.

Often, within an industrial machine, it is necessary to protect moving parts or the processed product from corrosion, impacts, or the effects of chemical or atmospheric agents. Depending on the application, thermoplastic materials can be used to create components that provide protection from mechanical impacts, high temperatures, fire, electrical discharges, rain, or any more or less aggressive chemical agents (boiling water, steam, acids, petrol, fuels, oils, greases, and solvents).

Special Items

Types:

Spheres | Tanks, Baskets and Basins | Glasses and Bowls | Dampers | Knobs and Handles | Diaphragms and Membranes | Emergency Mushrooms | Discs | Nozzles | Level Indicators | Combs | Probes | Custom industrial gaskets

LIMA also manufactures special technical items with specific functionalities, which do not fall within the categories of handling, fastening, or protection. These items can be used in industrial applications or for a wide range of different purposes.

Componentistica industriale

Types:

Screws, Nuts, and Washers | Nozzles, Quick Connectors, and Venturis | Flanges | Grains and Pins

Bearings | Sleeves and Housings | Stubs, Reductions, and Nipples | Joints and Couplings

Elbows and Bends | Inserts | Adapters and Extensions | Ejectors | Gaskets

Bumpers | Pins and Stems | Plugs | Wedges

In recent years, the world of industrial supplies has undergone significant changes in material selection: for many applications, thermoplastic materials are now preferred over metals (steel, iron, and aluminium) due to their lightness, rigidity, and resistance to corrosion, not to mention their cost-effectiveness. Given the versatility of thermoplastic and elastomeric materials and the large number of application fields, it is easy to understand that the range of industrial components produced by LIMA is vast. LIMA is organised in such a way as to handle both small orders and large-scale contracts involving hundreds of thousands of pieces.
