Heavy Duty Caster Wheel Company Caster Concepts Offers Poly Wheel Replacement

Polyurethane wheels are incredibly popular in many industrial and manufacturing environments. Like anything else, they can and will wear over time. Rather than simply replacing the wheels, there are some advantages associated with poly wheel remolding. In this process, Caster Concepts will rework your damaged or worn poly wheels as long as the cores are still in good condition.

Reasons to Consider Remolding

If you are weighing the pros and cons of remolding versus complete replacement, there are several things to consider. If the core is particularly high-quality, then reusing it could benefit your wallet. It’s also good for the environment since caster cores do not end up in landfills. Rather than simply purchasing prefabricated poly wheels, Caster Concepts can change the makeup of the tire itself to better suit your application before molding it to your wheel.

How It Works

To get started, Caster Concepts removes the existing polyurethane from wheels at a temperature of about 800 degrees, and once the cores are cool, they are blasted until they are like new. Then, Caster Concepts inspects the core, including the bores, to make sure they still meet the original dimensions. After this reconditioning process, they reapply a tire in the same manner as the original, allow it to cure, install new bearings, and return it to you. Polyurethane is a great choice thanks to its maximum strength, low rolling resistance, and resistance to chemicals and solvents.
