Description

High-Performance Steam Retort Wheel for Extreme Conditions

Our 3″ x 1.25″ Steam Retort Wheel is built for demanding environments, crafted from a heat-stabilized polymer that delivers exceptional weight capacity and heat resistance. With a temperature range of -20°F to 300°F, this autoclavable wheel resists water, oils, petroleum products, salt solutions, common cleaning solutions, solvents, and acids, making it ideal for harsh industrial settings. Its Shore D 85 durometer ensures durability, while the rounded tread design allows for easy rolling, even under heavy loads. This wheel is a top choice for applications requiring reliable performance in extreme conditions.

Designed for Autoclave and Hygiene-Sensitive Applications

Perfect for autoclave use, this steam retort wheel excels in food processing, pharmaceutical, and medical environments where sterilization is critical. The flat tread, paired with a 1/2″ plain bore, includes a stainless steel spanner for secure mounting, and it’s compatible with a 3/8″ axle for versatile installation. Unlike stainless steel wheels, this polymer wheel offers a lightweight yet robust alternative, maintaining integrity through repeated autoclaving and exposure to aggressive cleaning agents. It’s engineered to keep your equipment moving smoothly in sterile, high-heat settings without compromising hygiene.

Reliable Mobility with Minimal Maintenance

This autoclave wheel combines strength with low-maintenance performance, ensuring long-lasting use in challenging applications. Its heat-stabilized polymer construction resists degradation, while the stainless steel spanner enhances durability for consistent operation. Whether you’re transporting materials in a food production line or moving equipment in a pharmaceutical cleanroom, this wheel delivers dependable mobility with minimal upkeep. Available now with a fast lead time, it’s the perfect solution for industries needing heat-resistant, autoclavable caster wheels that stand up to tough conditions.
