Stainless Steel Casters for Hygienic Mobile Lifting Equipment
In food processing environments, hygiene, safety, and reliability are essential.
Mobile lifting equipment in food processing? Only with the right stainless steel casters.
In food processing environments, hygiene, safety, and reliability are essential. Backsaver develops ergonomic lifters and tippers for handling heavy bins. These machines perform best when equipped with industrial-grade stainless steel casters that can withstand heavy use and daily cleaning procedures.
DM Wheel Systems provided a caster solution that enables Backsaver’s mobile lifting equipment to meet the stringent requirements of the food industry.
The Challenge: Combining Mobility and Hygiene
Backsaver’s machines, such as the LT lifter, handle bins up to 900 kg and are used intensively in wet, high-demand production environments. Easy maneuverability is essential, but conventional caster solutions fall short when it comes to resistance against water, cleaning agents, and mechanical stress. At the same time, the wheels must be able to lock securely during operation.
The Solution: Full Stainless Steel, Designed for Food Processing
Our technical team developed a custom caster configuration tailored to the application’s needs:
- Stainless steel fork (AISI 304), corrosion-resistant and easy to clean
- Polyurethane tread, quiet and suitable for HACCP environments
- Sealed bearings with IP65 protection, resistant to water spray and dirt
- Double brake mechanism on both the wheel and swivel head, ensuring safe use
- High load capacity per wheel, suitable for dynamic applications
This combination ensures long-term durability in demanding environments without compromising hygiene or maneuverability.
Result: Reliable Operation in Food Processing Facilities
The caster solution improves efficiency and safety on the shop floor:
| Voordeel | Effect voor de gebruiker |
|---|---|
| Hygienic design | Compliant with HACCP standards, easy to sanitize |
| Full stainless steel | Resistant to moisture and aggressive cleaning routines |
| Dual-action brake | Safe lifting and tipping without undesired movement |
| Low rolling resistance | Easy to move with minimal physical effort |
