Industrial Polyurethane Wheels are tops in abrasion and wear resistance! With a full line of post-secondary operations, we can finish and assemble your industrial polyurethane wheels to meet your most stringent specifications. In fact, they frequently wear better than OEM replacements at a fraction of the cost. With our team of engineers and the latest machining equipment, we can cast custom industrial polyurethane wheels for your application from a simple sketch.
Polyurethane is abrasion resistant with excellent load-bearing performance and physical properties. Polyurethane also has the unique ability to absorb an impact and return to its original shape even after years of repeated impacts and abuse. It is about seven times lighter than steel; this weight reduction helps the equipment from being overworked and makes operating the equipment smoother and will also help absorb vibration and shock.
Plan Tech offers polyurethane recovering services for most industrial polyurethane wheels. Plan Tech also can fabricate new cores or reprocess used worn wheels. We also have a state of the art machine shop ready to handle all your custom industrial polyurethane wheels needs. A core or hub may also be added to the design to help add strength to the part and make it capable of being bolted into place. We also have an in-house engineering team ready to take your sketch and ideas and help design and create new parts. Our engineering department can calculate the speed and load of the application and also determine the correct size of the wheel and coating ensuring replacement parts will outperform the expected lifespan of tradition wheels. Common industrial polyurethane wheels diameters are from ½” to 6″. Face widths from ½” to 6″. We also have the ability to cast and machine much larger wheels up to 28”. All colors and durometers with a variety of additives can be added to enhance wear properties, add lubricity, UV stabilized, flame retardant, or to reduce static build up. A metal detectable additive can also be added for FDA requirements.
