Castors That Can Take the Heat
As castor and wheels specialists we take the time to research and learn about the different types of working environments our castors can be used within, one such technical requirement is temperature, in particular: heat.
High temperature environments such as bakeries, hygienic cleaning facilities, steelworks, and metal fabrications all require specialist castors that can withstand the heat from ovens, steam showers, and smelting pots.
Specialist wheels such as cast iron, polymer glass fibre wheels, and phenolic resin, can all be used within areas that reach up to 300°C - over three times the typical maximum safe working temperature of a standard castor.
Phenomenal Phenolic Resin
Phenolic resin is one of the most robust and durable wheel materials in high temperature environments. Available in: black, green, or red these wheels can be used safely in temperatures of up to 300°C.
As well as the excellent heat resistance, the phenolic resin wheel is also designed to be resistant to chemicals and oils making these perfect for us in chemical production areas where spills occur, or metal works where sparks and heated areas can fluctuate randomly.
These wheels excel in handling heavy loads with ease and with the fabricated bracket housing can hold up to 500kg without breaking a sweat.
The Ultimate Waterproof and Anti-Bacterial Wheel - Polymer Glass Fibre
Part of the requirement by professional cleaning facilities such as those that provide services to hotels and hospitals is using chemicals and steam to eliminate stains and bacteria. Keeping the trolleys and equipment area clear of all harboring bacteria is as important as the product cleanse itself.
The Stainless Steel Polymer Glass Fibre castor series (SSLVHTG) is designed specifically with this focus. Thanks to the unique splash guard feature, the bearing and bore of this wheel are fully enclosed, preventing even the microscopic bacteria from being able to grow.
This small but helpful tool also protects the wheel against spills, splashes, or splats making it the perfect option for use in areas where liquids and chemicals are possible.
