Your Custom Machined Plastic Components Specialist
Slideways specializes in custom and standard plastic components for conveyor systems. Its bolt-on-ready, ultra-high-quality products offer the shortest lead times for fast, efficient OEM assembly. Plus, its rapid, guaranteed delivery helps end users experience less downtime and production disruption.
Since 1994, we have been making standard and custom designed plastic parts and components – bearings, conveyor chain and belt guides, simple and complex custom designed plastic parts, plastic extrusions, SlideTrax, and more. These conveyor products are installed in packaging, unit logistics, material handling, bottling and canning, and power transmission applications.
Slideways is based in Worcester, MA and serves the North American market.
Our efficient manufacturing process saves you money!
We offer the advantage of being able to make small and medium sized runs without the high tooling costs of extrusions or castings.
Plastic components are less expensive and perform better than steel and aluminum parts.
Slideways sprockets have replaced steel in applications such as packaging machines and wastewater treatment. Plastic components last longer, operate more quietly, and weigh less than metal parts.
We produce parts from your drawings or reverse engineer them from samples
Whether your design is simple or complex, Slideways can follow your designs to create the parts you need, fast!
Our parts are designed and shipped quickly to meet your deadlines
Our standard time from ordering to shipping is two weeks. And Slideways can produce and ship custom trax for tabletop chain in as few as two or three days.
Our plastic components can handle temperatures ranging from cryogenic to +800°F
The same Slideways chain guides can be used on both spiral freezer conveyors and high-temperature sterilizers.
