乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 helps R脛DER-VOGEL develop new generation of anti-static wheels

Osnabr眉ck, Germany 鈥� Elastomers experts at 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 have been working closely with the team at wheel and castor manufacturer R脛DER-VOGEL to develop a new generation of polyurethane-based, anti-static PEVOTEC庐 wheels. The wheels 鈥� which are available now and utilize 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站鈥檚 TECNOTHANE庐 hot cast elastomers 鈥� have been designed for use in industrial applications where the use of trolleys, carts, pulleys, and automatically guided vehicles (AGVs) is vital to the smooth running of operations.

The build-up of static on wheels can prove problematic in busy manufacturing or production environments.

  • The accumulation of static charge on wheels can result in uncomfortable and sometimes painful shocks to personnel handling equipment or moving carts.
  • It can damage the electrical components of a vehicle.
  • Static on wheels can also attract and hold dust and particles. This can cause a contamination issue in specialist fields including semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology.
  • Dust build-up can also lead to less traction and cause automated equipment to malfunction 鈥� leading to costly downtime.

Using 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站鈥檚 TECNOTHANE庐 materials, R脛DER-VOGEL has developed a range of PEVOTEC庐 anti-static wheels that can help reduce these issues, with a variety of options available ranging from 55 to 97 shore A hardness. The materials also give R脛DER-VOGEL the flexibility to tailor make customized solutions for customers to meet specific needs. 

Initially, R脛DER-VOGEL will be targeting the new range of wheels at four application areas including:

  • Warehousing and logistics for automated guided vehicles that move thousands of products
  • Space-saving automated car park systems in cities where vehicles are parked using lifts
  • Clean rooms where wheels are used in trolleys and overhead pulleys
  • Mining for lift shafts that must function with no risk of sparks that could ignite coal dust.

乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 and R脛DER-VOGEL have a long history of working together that dates back more than 25 years. Commenting, Martin Sch盲fer, Sales Director Export 鈥� Material Handling & Special Applications at R脛DER-VOGEL said: 鈥淎s ever, we are grateful to the team at 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 for their willingness and enthusiasm to innovate in conjunction with our team. Together, we have a track record for pushing the boundaries of what鈥檚 possible in the world of wheels and castors. This project is no different. Working side by side, we鈥檝e developed a novel range of anti-static wheels that are set to offer huge benefits across a range of industries. As Industry 4.0 continues to drive new levels of automation and productivity, our wheels will help improve the reliability and lifetime of mission critical equipment.鈥� 

Commenting, Nicolaas Weyns, Sales Development Manager Elastomers Europe at 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站, said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 always great to work alongside the team at R脛DER-VOGEL. Their high standards and commitment to quality have made them one of the world鈥檚 leading manufacturers of pallet rollers, press-on tyres and swivel and fixed castors. There is a unique bond between our two companies that is based on trust and mutual respect and it has been exciting to help the team bring a new generation of anti-static wheels to fruition.鈥�

Since 1946, R脛DER-VOGEL has been developing wheels and castors to meet the ever-evolving demands of different markets 鈥� from individual customer-specific items to standardised large batches. Under its PEVOTEC庐 range, RADER-VOGEL offers wheels that can be used under extreme operating conditions. Depending on the task at hand, the team will select different wheel materials 鈥� adapting chemical and physical properties to suit requirements.
