OverviewThe TU-series industrial castor in hygienic design with a blue polyurethane tread is engineered for use in environments requiring strict cleanliness (food processing, pharmaceutical, cleanrooms). Stainless steel fork and components, a polyamide wheel centre and sealed bearing options reduce contamination risk while providing reliable mobility and floor protection.
Construction and materials- Fork, brackets and plate: stainless steel EN 1.4301 / AISI 304
- Wheel centre: polyamide
- Tread: blue polyurethane, non-marking, Shore D 48
- Swivel head: double ball bearing (where applicable)
- Bearings: plain stainless, stainless roller bearing or precision sealed stainless ball bearings (options)
- Mounting: plate mount or stainless steel plate bracket options
Key features- Hygienic design with smooth surfaces and stainless components to limit dirt and bacterial accumulation
- Sealed bearing units to maintain cleanliness and ease of washing
- Blue polyurethane tread: chemical resistant and non-marking for sanitary areas
- Low rolling resistance and good floor protection
- Shock-absorbing properties reduce noise and vibration
- Suitable for wet and aggressive cleaning regimes
Benefits of blue polyurethane tread- High load capacity with low rolling resistance
- Excellent protection of floor surfaces
- Resistant to moisture, oils and cleaning agents
- Durable performance and long service life in sanitary environments
Applications- Food processing equipment and trolleys
- Pharmaceutical machinery and laboratory equipment
- Laboratory carts and cleanroom applications
- Medical devices and hygienic production lines
