One product series that still deserves to be called an „industry first“ is the HSK wheel series launched last year. Its special feature is the combination of extreme cold and heat resistance and high load capacity. Made of plastic and silicone rubber, wheels in this series can withstand temperatures from -25 to +250 degrees Celsius and also have a long service life.
Depending on the version, the load capacity per wheel varies between 80 and 220 kilograms, and around 30 per cent less at maximum heating. This makes them suitable for For use in ovens and cold stores. For example, they can be fitted under transport trolleys for transporting freshly baked bread.
The HMK wheel series is also designed for extreme temperatures and withstands temperatures of up to 300 degrees Celsius, while roller tracks with polyethylene rollers can be used in cold zones down to -30 degrees. The food industry is characterised not only by the extreme cold and heat, but also by strict hygiene regulations. Torwegge has, among other things Germ-free rolls made from uncoloured polypropylene and a wheel with thread protection to prevent contamination of the ball bearing.
