Dual durometer urethane wheels are typically cast with a 75D durometer core or rim which is our hardest, toughest material available. Being able to cast urethane wheel cores allows our customers to deviate away from the traditional cast aluminum or steel cores greatly reducing cost and lead time. Unlike cast aluminum or steel we can cast the core to size with little or no secondary machining work. After we cast the core to the dual durometer urethane wheel it will be treated and processed with a coat of chemical bonding agent. The finished product will have a bond strength as great as the tear right of the material that will be coated on the core.
Dual durometer urethane wheels hold up very well against high-impact uses and will absorb a lot of the vibration from the impact but are not recommended for high load applications. Typically coated in a soft hardness for the application the urethane will have a long service life with a smooth and quite operation vs similar materials. At Plan Tech we can cast any durometer outside coating which is ideal for some customers trying to alter the way a machine is performing. We also have a full line of urethane additives to reduce static build up on the outside of the dual durometer urethane wheels or to add lubricity. Any profile may be molded or machined into the core or OD of the wheel to match the application needed.
For over 30 years we have focused on using speed and precision to rapidly deliver the highest quality industrial cast urethane products and FDA-approved urethane parts to our customers. Our custom cast polyurethane facility maintains world-class capabilities and equipment, combined with excellent quality systems. A particular strength is the breadth of our in-house capabilities which, when combined with our extensive experience, enables us to rapidly deliver cast urethane parts while maintaining the quality control and cost effectiveness our customers need.
