White is the standard color on all sizes above 4" x 1-1/4", while the smaller sizes are stocked in black. | | Hamilton Aqualite® Wheels are of the genre loosely referred to in the industry as "polyolefin" or "polypropylene," but unlike most competitive designs they have heavily-sectioned hubs and rims to withstand the rigors of industrial service. They are injection molded from blended polymers that provide an impact-resistant wheel (75 Durometer on Shore D) impervious to water, brine, gasoline and oil, and most common acids, chemicals and solvents. Tests show Aqualite® material to be longer wearing and more resistant to cracking or chipping than hard rubber, yet it is low cost, nonmarking and non-staining.
Consequently these wheels are ideally suited for -clean rooms,- pharmaceutical houses, poultry processors, canneries, fisheries, meat packing plants, bakeries and laundries.
| | They meet the U.S.F.D.A. food additives regulation for direct contact with food, and are cleanable with steam or detergents.
Aqualite® Wheels can be ordered with plain self-lubricating bores for maintenance-free operation in corrosive environments. The larger sizes also offer Delrin® or, for easier rolling, roller bearings. Roller bearing equipped wheels for 5" dia. And above are equipped with lube fittings. Flange type Delrin® bearings in 1-1/2" face sizes extend actual hub length of wheel approximately 3/16"; light oiling of Delrin® or plain bores will aid rollability
Note: Aqualite®Wheels are not recommended for continuous service (as on towlines).
