Orange, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/20/2012 -- Traditional wheels do not work in hi-temp situations. Traditional hi-temp phenolic wheels survive about 350-400°F intermittent temperatures (30 mins in/30 mins cool-off). The traditional wheels are hard and noisy when rolling on floors. The wheels run directly on the caster axle without lubricant; they squeak when in higher temperatures.

A leading Italian manufacturer developed a special material and process originally developed for the aerospace industry and adapted it to special purpose wheels. The applications have expanded into stainless steel casters and other composite wheel materials focused on the food processing industry.

Hi-temperature RTH wheels are needed most in the food processing industry and these unique wheels and casters allow for Operating Temperature Ranges of -40°C (-104°F) to +260C (+500°F).

An ergonomically friendly work environment requires noise reduction. RTH wheels are a special proprietary high temperature aerospace rubber compound that cushions the loaded racks from vibration, reduce floor noise, and can be equipped with special noise eliminating bearings. The RTH wheels and the stainless steel casters available from Magnus Mobility are FDA/USDA approved and are permanently lubricated with FDA approved, non-toxic lubricants.

A strategic partnership arrangement has been formed between DiCandia Route, the Italian manufacturer of this hi-temp wheel, and Magnus Mobility Systems Inc. Magnus is the leading, worldwide provider of motion control solutions including casters and wheels, gas springs, levelers, bearings, and accessories. Magnus combines the best of single-source convenience with the benefits of a global network. Strategic distribution and service centers enable Magnus to provide timely delivery of this important hi-temp wheel product.

The “Association of Operating Room Nurses” show will be held at the New Orleans Convention Center March 26-28. Magnus will be exhibiting in booth 4060. Featured will be the Steinco square wheel caster for medical carts and equipment and the DiCandia hi-temperature wheel for sterilization and autoclave carts.
