Roller conveyors are often used to transport flat glass. These rollers are precisely designed to prevent the glass from being damaged or scratched. The materials used in the rollers, such as rubber coating or polymer coating, help cushion the glass as it moves along the production line. But some glass is very fragile and can break easily if subjected to excessive vibration or sudden impact. The conveyor platform should be equipped with shock absorption to minimize shock during movement and ensure the safety of the glass product.
Shock-absorbing Pallets Promote Safe Production
Mounting a pallet on the roller platform with holes for the rollers to roll on is a reliable solution, which can significantly reduce the vibration of the glass during transportation. The fiberglass skin PET foam sandwich panel is a material that meets this demand. It combines many benefits such as light weight, flatness, and shock resistance.

Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Skin
TOPOLO new fiberglass sheet is CFRT, which is different from the general single-component material. It is a mixture of continuous fibers and thermoplastic resins and laid at a certain angle (Multi-layer thermoplastic UD tape stack). It is very tough and wear-resistant, and it will not damage its smooth surface when it comes into contact with high-hardness and brittle glass. When using CFRT with a rougher surface, this increases the friction between the roller and the bottom of the tray, allowing them to move at the same frequency.
Recycled PET foam Core
PET (polyterephthalic acid) foam is lightweight and rigid. As the core material, it can maintain the flatness of the panel and the stability of the structure, and the vibration caused by the rapid rotation of the roller will not cause it to deform. In addition, TOPOLO is committed to sustainable development of the industry and uses recycled PET foam as the core material.
