The rotacaster omni wheel provides a high impact, low maintenance solution for conveyor wheels and transfer tables.
conveyor transfers
The monolithic web structure of the rotacaster omni wheel body and the over-moulded rollers provide an extremely robust multidirectional (or omnidirectional) conveyor wheel without seams, joints or inserted pins and axles. Rotacaster omniwheels are the ideal choice for corrosive environments (view case study) where custom specifications of roller and bush material are required and provide obvious advantages over other conveyor wheel alternatives:
- no lost rollers
- low maintenance
- high impact resistance
- high load capacity
The relative width of the conveyor wheel and rollers allow more rollers per sq ft/sqm than other conveyor alternatives. This provides greater potential for load distribution, surface support and contact with load bases within a given area as well as the following benefits:
- ease of manoeuvrability
- smoother movement or transition of product
- greater load capacities
- ability to handle heavy loads with small contact surfaces
The 125mm diameter Rotacaster multidirectional wheels are available in single, double or triple configurations. The single Rotacaster omni-wheels have a keyway for offsetting adjacent wheels and/or for powered drive tables, whilst double and triple Rotacasters are provided with either nylon or sealed bearings for free rolling environments. Rotacaster has just released a new 48mm diameter omni-wheel which is currently available in a double configuration with a triple configuration marked for future release. With a weight capacity of 35kgs (77lbs) and the same robust design and construction as the 125mm omni-wheel, the 48mm Rotacaster is ideal for conveyor transfers, powered drive tables, feed tables, feed rails and workstation turntables and has the ability to withstand even the toughest environments.
