Frequently asked questions
-
PU, abbreviation for Polyurethane, is a synthetic polymer/rubber that belongs to the class of elastomers. It is formed by combining two main components: polyol (an organic compound) and isocyanate (a type of chemical compound). The resulting PU material exhibits unique properties that make it ideal for various applications, including wheel production.
-
PU known for its durability, abrasion resistance, shock absorption and load-bearing capacity. It's used for wheels due to these properties.
-
PU wheels offer excellent grip, floor protection, noise reduction, and versatility, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
-
PU products are used in industries such as Conveyor Belt Systems, Assembly Line Systems (example like PU rollers, PU rods/sheets etc.), Material Handling Industries like electric forklift/reach truck (example like PU wheels) and Equipment for Cleaning Services Industries, and more as long as it is applicable
General FAQs:
-
PU provide smooth movement, floor protection, load-bearing capacity(subject to hardness requirement), reduced noises, and provide clean environment especially for indoor moving equipment/machine in warehouse, production yard etc
-
Yes, PU can be used for industrial rollers, however it is subjected to its application conditions, characteristic and requirement. It is usually can be customed according to required hardness, load bearing capacity, temperature and other demanding conditions
-
Of course, we can offer customization options such as to tailor PU wheels to your unique needs, including specific design dimension/size, hardness and indoor/outdoor conditions. Even for cold room condition, we can offer wire-mesh wheel to overcome slippery problems
-
Avoid exposure to high UV/temperature conditions, user behaviors such as operating machine in right manner and speed, avoid over-loading, and regular cleaning, lubrication, and inspection of PU wheels can help prolong their lifespan and maintain optimal performance
Application-Specific FAQs:
Material and Durability FAQs:
-
Precision Workmanship, Optimal Mixture Accuracy, Enhanced Durability, Efficient Energy Transfer, Timely Delivery
-
The lifespan of PU wheels varies based on factors like load, usage, and environmental conditions, but they are known for their durability
-
The hardness rating (e.g., 80A or 90A) indicates the wheel's durometer, with higher values being harder. Harder wheels offer better load capacity but may provide less cushioning
-
PU wheels can be formulated to resist specific chemicals and oils, making them suitable for applications where such resistance is needed
-
Rotating or moving the equipment periodically can help prevent flat spots on PU wheels when they are not in use for extended periods
