Plastic poultry wheel bearings

Our blue plastic poultry wheels are for tube track and can be used with plastic or stainless steel trolleys.

• Smooth operation without lubrication – Thermoplastic materials are inherently lubricated. Our plastic poultry wheel bearings operate smoothly without the need for grease or oil.
• Corrosion resistant – Our plastic poultry wheel bearings are corrosion resistant to water and washdown chemicals, so have a longer operating life in comparison to wheel containing corrodible metal components.
• Low maintenance – Our wheels do not need frequent maintenance to replace lubrication, or removing due to corrosion, so our customers have less down time due to routine maintenance.

Lightweight & Low Torque for Energy Savings

Plastic bearings have a lower torque to rotate than steel bearings because they are lighter and do not need lubrication or grease to operate effectively.

Free-flow & Anti Clog Bearings

For systems that are prone to clogging from debris or liquid ingress, our “free flow” cage and race design allows water and debris a passage through the bearing component for a continued flow of liquid even under low pressure conditions. Our cage-less ‘open design’ is used instead of shields and seals reducing the risk of bearing seizure, has less than half the torque to rotate of our normal radial plastic bearings and less than a quarter of similar sized metal options.

Speciality Materials for Chemical Exposure & High Temperatures

Our plastic bearings are made from acetal with stainless steel 316 balls chemical and corrosion resistant to various acids, alkalis and cleaning chemicals, with a wide thermal range. Our specialty range of bearings use plastic and ball materials that can withstand extreme chemicals and temperatures.
