Polyurethane water treatment wheels, also known as polyurethane idler wheels or conveyor wheels, play a crucial role in water treatment and filtration processes. These wheels are designed to operate in challenging environments, often exposed to chemicals, water, and abrasive materials.
Chemical Resistance
Polyurethane water treatment wheels are highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals commonly used in water treatment processes, such as acids, bases, and disinfectants. This resistance ensures the wheels maintain their integrity and performance even when exposed to corrosive substances.
Water Resistance
These wheels are designed to operate in wet and humid environments. They do not absorb water, preventing swelling, degradation, and loss of performance over time.
Abrasion Resistance
Polyurethane is known for its excellent abrasion resistance. Water treatment wheels can withstand the wear and tear associated with moving abrasive materials like sand, gravel, and sediments in the treatment process.
Low Coefficient of Friction
Polyurethane has a low coefficient of friction, reducing the energy required to move materials and making these wheels suitable for conveyor and filtration systems.
Customizable Durometer
Water treatment wheels are available in various durometers (hardness levels). This allows for customization to match specific application requirements, such as load capacity and impact resistance.
Dimensional Stability
Polyurethane wheels maintain their shape and dimensions even under heavy loads, ensuring consistent performance and minimal deflection.
