In the food industry, efficient handling is as essential as compliance with hygiene regulations. Choosing the right wheels for equipment, machinery, and production lines can make a real difference in safety, cleanliness, and durability.

With its long-standing expertise in wheel and caster production, AVO Aldo Valsecchi is the ideal partner for companies in this sector, offering solutions specifically designed for every need – with guaranteed quality and reliability over time.

AVO uses only materials selected for their resistance to cold, moisture, and corrosion: special polyurethanes that stay elastic even at very low temperatures and are easy to clean; stainless steel AISI 304 and AISI 316 for supports and metal parts, ensuring hygiene and long-lasting performance.

Product design is optimized to minimize dirt traps and make cleaning operations easier, lowering maintenance and replacement costs: smooth surfaces and compact shapes are key features.

Our 5 tips for choosing your ideal wheel

1. Choose materials that maintain their mechanical properties, elasticity, and smooth rolling even at sub-zero temperatures, avoiding breakage, stiffening, or deformation that could compromise handling.
2. To withstand frequent sanitization – even with aggressive detergents – opt for AVO’s Polyurethane and Polyamide 6 wheels, plus AISI 304 or 316 stainless steel supports, resistant to corrosion and moisture.
3. Avoid contamination risks by using wheels with plain bore hubs or stainless steel bearings, which require no maintenance and release no unwanted substances.
4. Reduce operator effort by choosing high-rollability wheels such as Thermoplastic Polyurethane, including the soft Polyurethane version, or elastic, non-marking rubber wheels – silent-running, impact-resistant, and low-friction.
5. Always check the load capacity required, factoring in potential impacts, uneven floors, or sudden acceleration. We recommend choosing wheels with a higher safety load than the static requirement, to ensure durability and stability under dynamic conditions.
