The Science of Friction: How Low-Coefficient Polymers Reduce Energy Consumption on the Factory Floor
When conversations around energy efficiency take place in manufacturing boardrooms, they usually focus on large, visible investments—high-efficiency motors, automation upgrades, or advanced control systems. While these initiatives are important, they often overlook one of the most consistent and controllable sources of energy loss on the factory floor: friction within conveyor systems. Friction is not dramatic.…
