Plastic wheels: flexible, resilient and convincing
The plastic wheels from BS Rollen are used in a wide variety of industries. Since plastics are very versatile and can have different properties, plastic castors are a good choice for transport tasks in industry, for example in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Plastic wheels consist completely of plastic, i.e. both the wheel body and the tread.
Polyamide plastic wheels
Due to its high load capacity, low rolling resistance and high abrasion resistance, many of these wheels are made of polyamide. The material, which is usually injection-moulded and, at high load capacities, also cast, also has excellent resistance to environmental influences such as cleaning agents, oils, salts, bases or acids and also good temperature resistance. For this reason, polyamide is highly economical to use in many applications, also due to its good resistance to cleaning.
Other materials for plastic wheels
Alternatively, plastic wheels made of polypropylene are used. This material has a slightly lower resistance to environmental influences, but offers an excellent price-performance ratio. Extremely heat-resistant plastic wheels are made of phenolic resin - a thermosetting plastic - or thermoplastic compounds. They can be used up to + 350 °C or for short periods up to 400 °C. As you can see: You have many different options to choose from, so that you can easily adapt the selected wheels to your company's requirements.

Plastic wheels are so versatile
Plastic wheels are available in a wide variety of designs. They are available as furniture castors, apparatus castors, transport castors or heavy-duty castors with extremely high load capacities per castor. No matter whether you need these versions, plastic door rollers or special plastic rollers tailored to your application: We at BS Rollen offer you a large and comprehensive selection of versatile plastic wheels in a modern design.

Plastic wheels are ideally suited for use in the food industry because they are made of only one material and can therefore be cleaned hygienically. In combination with the high durability and above all the longevity of the plastic wheels, you can use them in a wide variety of applications and production environments. In addition, the smooth running of the plastic wheel ensures particularly gentle transport, which is explicitly required in many areas of application.
High load capacity of the plastic wheels convinces
Most plastic wheels can be completed with a wide variety of housings - as fixed castors, swivel castors or as swivel castors with a wide variety of locking devices. Their wheel bodies and bandages are made of plastic.
They can be used from - 30 °C to max. + 80 °C or briefly up to + 120 °C. Thus, the polypropylene and polyamide castors offer you the possibility to use the wheels in different working areas or to integrate them flexibly into your production environments. The high temperature resistance and above all the possibility of using the wheels even at minus temperatures ensure high reliability in use. Because the plastic wheels support a wide variety of work steps safely and quietly. In addition, the load capacity naturally plays an important role in the evaluation of the various wheels. Depending on the choice of material components, the load-bearing capacity of the wheels naturally changes significantly. The modern plastic wheels from BS Rollen can be equipped with plain bearings, roller bearings or ball bearings and thus achieve a load capacity of between 10 and 11,000 kg per wheel. This means that these wheels can actually be used in most areas and above all under the toughest conditions.
