Nowadays, there are multiple businesses that work in extreme environments and need to use high temperature wheels to facilitate the movement of machinery, cars and transport platforms. Examples of such activities include food factories, bakeries, furnaces, smelters, metallurgy and the healthcare sector.
In working conditions were the temperatures are high, the resistance of the components and materials of the industrial wheels used is crucial to ensure efficient mobility. We will explain below how to choose the best wheel for high temperature depending on your needs and your industrial activity.
How to choose a high temperature wheel
When deciding on a heat resistant wheel, it is important to have in mind the following factors so it perfectly meets your mobility needs:
- Working temperature: the maximum and minimum temperature the wheel can be exposed and for how long. It should withstand at least 200ºC.M
- Wheel material: The components must be heat resistant and not deteriorate, for example like resin.
- Load capacity: the wheel must be able to withstand loads of 100 kg onwards to be effective.
- Ease of movement: must allow effortless fluid manoeuvres.
- Noise during movement: for comfort, they are advised to be as quiet as possible.
- Ground protection: the material of the wheel must be respectful with the surface on which it is moving and avoid leaving stains, traces or causing cracks.
