• Medium speeds.

Vulkollan^© (95 Shore A)

Vulkollan©95 Shore A is a highly elastic polyurethane elastomer based on Desmodur©15 for demanding and dynamic areas of application. The excellent mechanical properties of the material include very high dynamic load capacity, very high abrasion and tear resistance, high mechanical wear resilience and very low compression set. We recommend Vulkollan©95 Shore A for the use in the transport of very heavy loads at high speed.

Vulkollan® is a highly elastic polyurethane elastomer based on Desmodur® 15. Like all Vulkollan® varieties, the material has excellent mechanical properties including good dynamic load capacity, good abrasion resistance and wear propagation resistance, high impact resilience and low compression set. With a Shore hardness of 85° Shore A, Vulkollan® combines high load capacity with good noise reduction and vibration damping and is therefore particularly suitable for use on surfaces where care is needed, for example on tile floors.

• Medium load capacities
• Medium speeds
• Good noise reduction and vibration damping
• Floor saving

Vulkollan^© - Elf

Vulkollan®-ELF is our developed and patented special material for discharging electrostatic charges based on Desmodur® 15. Through the addition of electrically conductive components, the discharge is carried out through the entire tread and over the entire contact area, regardless of the wear of the tread. VULKOLLAN®-ELF comfortably exceeds the requirements set by the DIN EN 12527 ff standard for electrical volume resistance and is particular suitable for use in operations where there is risk of fire or explosion, in areas with highly densified, charged air or with extremely concentrated dust particles.

• Prevents electrostatic charges
• Medium load capacities

Tractothan^© - (Wet Grip Vulkollan^©)

Tractothan® is a Vulkollan® composite material developed by us with the same properties as Vulkollan®. Special TPU granules incorporated into the tread ensure increased wheel grip, thus improving starting properties, preventing slip and improving braking effects. Tractothan® is therefore particularly suitable for in-plant transportation and use on wet and soiled surfaces.

• Increased braking effect
• Reduced risk of sliding
• High load capacities
• High speeds

Tractosoft^© - (Soft Wet Grip Vulkollan^©)

Tractosoft® is a Tractosoft® composite material developed by us with the same properties as Tractosoft®. Special TPU granules incorporated into the tread ensure increased wheel grip, thus improving starting properties, preventing slip and improving braking effects. Thanks to the lower Shore hardness of 85 Shore A, Tractosoft® is particularly suited for use in transportation on wet and soiled surfaces where noise reduction and protection of the products being transported are also important factors.

• Reduced risk of sliding
• Medium load capacities
• Medium speeds
• Floor saving

Vulkollan^© Quartz

Vulkollan© Quartz is a Vulkollan© composite material which has been developed for use on extremely wet, slippery and greasy surfaces. With the addition of quartz sand particles the material has significantly better traction, while the excellent properties of Vulkollan© are preserved as much as possible. Vulkollan© Quartz is particularly effective in the most extreme types of usage such as in the fisheries and meat industries.

• Very high braking effect
• Lower risk of sliding
• Medium load capacities
• Medium speeds

Vulkodyn^©

Vulkodyn® a highly elastic polyurethane elastomer which we have developed for extremely dynamic applications. The material has excellent properties such as approximately 20% lower rolling resistance, higher load capacity at the same speeds, better driving comfort thanks to good damping, lower risk of flat spots during stoppages, hydrolysis resistance and better traction. Vulkodyn® is therefore particularly suited for use at high speeds.

• Long service life
• Very high load capacities
• Extreme speeds
• Minimal rolling resistance

Pevodyn^© (93 Shore A)

Pevodyn© is a new high-quality polyurethane elastomer which we have developed, to offer a significantly reduced starting and rolling resistance as well as high dynamic load capacity. The material is therefore particularly suitable for intralogistics applications. Thanks to its hydrolysis resistance, Pevodyn© is perfectly suited for use in tropical climates.

• Long service Life
• High load capacities
• High speeds
• Minimal rolling resistance
• Non-marking
• High energy efficiency

Rubber

In comparison with polyamides and polyurethanes, rubber is typically softer with a high rolling resistance offering driver comfort and protection to flooring. Thanks to the variety of attributes, rubber wheels can be used in a wide range of in-plant transportation applications and in particular operating outside on uneven and abrasive surfaces. We supply solid rubber, elastic and super elastic rubber as well as thermoplastic rubber and pneumatic tyres.
