Polyurethane rubber - Import export

In addition to wheels and castors, Blickle’s extensive catalogue also includes tyres and press-on bands. The press-on bands are manufactured using Blickle’s own Blickle Besthane® or Blickle Extrathane® polyurethane treads. They are also available with super-elastic solid rubber tyres or an elastic solid rubber tread. Tyres use a steel-wire reinforced rubber core to connect to the rim, while press-on bands are fitted with either a steel insert or a steel band.

For the majority of standard castors, either the tread or the steel bracket is not designed for frequent contact with water or high levels of air humidity or steam. Blickle stainless steel castors, on the other hand, provide corrosion protection in every area, including the high-quality chromium-nickel steel bracket, the synthetic wheel centre, a selection of treads made from rubber, thermoplastic polyurethane and nylon and the various bearings used. This is relevant for wet areas and environments with strict hygiene requirements, such as the food industry.
