Urethane feed wheels are in every way similar to regular polyurethane wheels except that they have one function and that is to feed product into the application. These special wheels are often coated in a soft urethane so as to give them traction when the product enters the wheel and we are well known in the industry for our specialty in urethane grinding as well as turning, and we have recently added to our operation another new custom built lathe. While most urethane feed wheels are not limited to the applications of high abrasion such as tightening the cap on bottles, they are however renowned for spinning the product for labeling.
We are well renowned in the industry for casting first-grade urethane feed wheels, and this is because we only make use of urethane materials from world leading resin chemical companies. Our state of the art machine shop makes it possible for us to bond most of our urethane feed wheels to a steel or stainless core. We are also capable of helping our customers strip and recoat their worn out OEM feed wheels, and this saves the extra money they would have spent purchasing OEM replacements. Customers or prospects can also trust us to help with the reversing of engineer existing OEM wheels from a mere sketch or product sample.
Manufacturing custom urethane feed 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.
