Duroplast wheels
A recent addition to the Elesa line of standard components are our duroplast castors and wheels. They are specifically designed to resist to temperatures up to 300°C, making them perfect for use in the food industries.
Duroplast is a composite resin thermosetting plastic reinforced with cotton or wool fibres to make it similar to fibreglass. Duroplast’s suitability to the food sector is thanks to its ability to keep its shape when exposed to high temperatures.
The manufacturing process of irreversible polymerisation hardens this phenolic based (PF) thermosetting plastic to produce our range of castors with incredible heat resistant properties.
Our RE.F7-N-HT castors are finished with a steel bracket to allow a carrying capacity of 1401 N to 2600 N.
The available diameters of these castors are:
- 80mm
- 100mm
To suit your needs, Elesa supply duroplast castors in a choice of executions: with turning plate bracket in steel or stainless steel, with a centre pass-through hole, and with or without a brake. The stainless steel industrial wheels variants are suitable for use in regulated sectors which require mandatory use of corrosion-resistant materials.
These duroplast wheels do not require maintenance and consist of the following high quality elements:
- fitting plate: electrolytically zinc-plated steel or stainless steel sheet
- fork: electrolytically zinc-plated steel or stainless steel sheet
- ball race ring: electrolytically zinc-plated steel or stainless steel sheet
- central pin: the cold reflanged pin is incorporated in the plate
- rotation system: a dual ball ring which is high temperature grease-lubricated
- dust seal: made from dark grey technopolymer
The high thermal resistance properties of Elesa duroplast castors and wheels make them suitable for use in food industries and cooking ovens.
They are especially ideal for use in the baking sector, where there is frequent use of trollies to transport food products between ovens. You can find the Elesa castor range in our online catalogue, along with technical information and guidance for use.
