Urethane band saw idler wheels consist of a urethane band that is molded directly to the bandsaw pulley which ensures great drive strength in large machinery. Unlike small bandsaws that do not have idler wheels, Plan Tech produces idler or drive wheels for large bandsaws.
Plan Tech can recondition used worn out idler wheels as well as fabricate new urethane band saw idler wheels in high volume for manufacturing facilities. When we receive a sample wheel or an existing part we will reverse engineer OEM parts to match the new coating too. Plan Tech buys high-quality urethane material from world leaders to ensure our material is better than OEM physical properties with the ability to tailor our urethane material for any special applications or environment.
Plan Tech recently stripped brand new idler wheels for a customer in a very cold environment where rubber idler wheels were failing due to the extreme cold. Plan Tech’s special blend of urethane is rated for conditions down to -40F with great results. Plan Tech can turn almost any size urethane band saw idler wheels to match the blade profile or any needed special requirement may be added. Frequently Plan Tech can supply reconditioned or brand new urethane band saw idler wheels in 4 weeks or less!
Manufacturing urethane band saw idler wheels that effectively incorporate a metallic or non-metallic component requires a superior method for achieving a bond between the urethane and the substrate. Here at Plan Tech, we have developed preparation methods to consistently apply specially formulated urethane adhesives. Our proprietary equipment for cleaning, preparation, automated adhesive spray application and automated drying ensures a consistently high-strength bond between the urethane and the substrate. Over the past three decades we have adhered cast urethane to millions of parts with an outstanding record of part performance in demanding applications.
