CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
According to the directory, the starwheel body can be made from stainless steel, carbon steel, or aluminum alloy. For aluminum alloy, material grades 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 per ASTM B221 are referenced. The choice of material affects strength, weight, and corrosion resistance. Confirm the specific material grade with the manufacturer for your application.
The directory lists reference ranges: outer diameter 300–1200 mm, bore diameter 50–200 mm, and thickness 20–80 mm. These values are not universal; they depend on the container size and the starwheel design. Always verify the exact dimensions required for your specific infeed system with the supplier.
Precision is specified by radial runout (≤0.05 mm per ISO 1101) and surface roughness (Ra 0.8–1.6 μm per ISO 1302). These parameters ensure smooth container transfer and reduce wear. The listed standards are verification references; the manufacturer must confirm compliance for the actual product.
The directory indicates a maximum operating speed of 300–600 rpm and an operating temperature range of -10 to 60 °C. These are reference ranges; actual limits depend on the material, design, and application. Always check with the manufacturer for the specific model's capabilities.
