Cold Room Wheels

Cold rooms are common in food storage facilities where low temperatures are required to keep food fresh. In these environments equipment and components must be resistant to cold and be able to efficiently operate in these conditions. Wheels and castors used in cold rooms should be resilient and are often required to have additional properties such as being water resistant and abrasion resistant to allow for easy cleaning.

At TEP Technica we offer a wide array of wheels to suit a variety of industrial and commercial applications. Our technical advisors are on hand to offer advice on product identification.  To help get you started use our guide to identify the most suitable tread for your application.

WHEEL REQUIREMENT: COLD STORE

Suitable for: Commercial Cold Stores, Industrial Freezers, Biotech Manufacturing

Castors For Use In Cold Rooms

Castors used in cold storage rooms and industrial freezers often require a low starting and low rolling resistance to allow the user to be able to effortlessly transport goods and to protect the floor from damage.  Extreme cold can reduce the load bearing capabilities of the castor or wheel and increase the brittleness of the tread material, so choosing a suitable tread is vital to ensuring the safety and lifespan of your wheel.

Castors for cold store rooms are often used in biotech manufacturing, food storage and transport. The low temperatures are challenging and if the correct components are not used the extreme conditions can effect the functionality and service life of equipment, resulting in higher maintenance costs.  Well engineered wheels ensure that no air bubbles are created in production which avoids condensation forming so that when the wheel expands and contracts in varying temperatures there is no unnecessary damage to wheel.

Choosing the correct tread for your application and environment will provide consistent performance and a longer life span of your components.
