YOUR CHALLENGES What hygiene demands: RESISTANCE, SAFETY, DESIGN. Optimal solutions for the world of hygienically sensitive applications are based on three pillars: the resistance of the materials, the safety of the components used and optimal design. These three factors are inextricably linked and play a crucial role in the functionality and reliability of mobile equipment in healthcare and industrial food production. This is exactly where Blickle comes into play, offering solutions that meet these exacting demands. Resistance, safety and design at the highest level – this is the motto of our...

Resistance All materials used in Blickle wheels and castors are extremely resistant to chemicals, temperature, moisture and stress. Safety Blickle wheels and castors protect people: They minimise the risk of accidents and are designed for resilience and efficiency. Form and design Smart designs and the use of suitable materials make Blickle wheels and castors user-friendly, functional and resistant.

RESISTANCE BEGINS AT DEVELOPMENT STAGE Smart. Tested. Optimised: With the largest selection of corrosion-resistant stainless steel brackets on the market, Blickle offers ten different series in the load capacity range up to 800 kilograms. All individual parts including axle material are made of chromium-nickel steel Lubrication wilti long-life grease (1.4301/AISI 304) and therefore corrosion resistant. All stainless thus maintenance-free steel castors from Blickle have the following features: • Full corrosion protection • Smooth rolling characteristic for ease of movement Impact-resistant, high-quality...

Moisture is a daily factor in hygiene areas and at the same time the central challenge for the brackets of swivel and fixed castors as well as the bearings of wheels and castors. Our brackets and bearings are specially designed and produced to resist corrosion and thus maintain full mobility. We rely on high-quality materials such as stainless steel and plastic, use reliable bearing seals that prevent the ingress off water and dirt and have developed a production process for corrosion-resistant steel castors that minimises the required swivel head play. Extrusion moulded, double-sided sealed...

RESISTANCE TO CORROSION AND MOISTURE: THE WHEEL BEARINGS Perfect bearings for every requirement PRECISE, TIGHT AND ROBUST. Heavy loads often have to be shifted in the hygiene and healthcare sectors, and the demands on swivel and fixed castors are correspondingly high. Smooth rolling characteristic and high reliability, even under damp conditions, are basic requirements here. At Blickle, we understand these requirements and offer a comprehensive solution for every situation. Various wheel bearings are available, all featuring corrosion resistance, chemical resistance and resilience. Depending...
