How to Design a UHMWPE Star Wheel for Your Bottling Line

Overview

This guide covers the practical steps to design a uhmwpe star wheel for your bottling line. JSLT Engineering Plastics produces engineering plastic components in UHMWPE, HDPE, PA, POM and PTFE — full-process fabrication from raw sheet to CNC-machined parts.

Step-by-step procedure

1. Identify bottle geometry. Measure bottle diameter, neck profile and base; account for tolerance.
2. Choose pocket count. Pocket count depends on line speed and pitch; typically 8–16.
3. Design pocket profile. Match bottle radius + 1mm clearance; chamfer pocket entry.
4. Add hub bore and keyway. Match shaft diameter and keyway; specify SS bushing if needed.
5. Send DWG for quote. Email DWG/STEP to claire@jsltupe.com — quote in 24h.
