DualVee Wash Down Wheels

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the DualVee® Washdown Wheels by HepcoMotion®, designed for use in harsh and extreme environments, particularly in washdown applications. These wheels are engineered to extend the life of machinery components by at least three times, with some reports indicating up to six times longer life.
Specifications: The wheels feature FDA-approved grease and are constructed with AISI type 440C stainless steel balls and races. They include a unique outer shield and inner seal for exceptional protection against liquid and debris ingress.
Functionality: The overmolded metallic shield acts as a primary seal during high-pressure washdowns, deflecting to form a momentary seal that prevents liquid ingress. The inner seal provides secondary protection, maintaining internal lubrication and extending wheel life.
Applications: These wheels are ideal for food and beverage industries and high-speed water jet cutting machinery, where frequent bearing replacement is common due to corrosive fluids and lubrication loss.
Compatibility and Options: DualVee® Washdown Wheels are interchangeable with standard vee wheels, facilitating easy replacement. They are complemented by AISI type 420 stainless steel tracks, with additional surface treatments available for enhanced corrosion resistance. Pristinox finished stainless steel tracks and various wheel support bushes are also offered.
Technical Data: The document includes detailed measurements and load capacities for different wheel sizes, ensuring users can select the appropriate wheel for their specific needs.

DualVee Wash Down Wheels-1

DualVee ® Washdown Wheels For Applications in Washdown Environments Proven to extend life in harsh and extreme environments – at least 3x* FDA approved grease AISI type 440C stainless steel balls and races Unique outer shield and inner seal for exceptional protection from liquid and debris How it works The overmolded metallic shield acts as a primary seal when subjected to a stream of high pressure washdown fluid. The pressure causes the shield to deflect, and the soft outer rubber layer compresses against the metallic surface of the wheel, forming a momentary seal that prevents the ingress of the liquids. The inner seal provides a secondary line of defense, keeping external fluids out of the wheel and retaining the internal lubrication grease; both important factors affecting the life of the wheel. Once the stream is directed away from the wheel, the deflected shield returns to its original position, allowing any residual fluid that entered the area between the shield and seal to drain out or be spun out by centrifugal force. *Bearing life is dependent on factors such as duty cycle, cleaning agents used, and frequency of washdown procedures. One equipment manufacturer reports 6x life, and still running

Motion without Limits ® DualVee® Washdown Wheels protect against ingress of liquid making them ideally suited for food and beverage applications, as well as any high speed water jet cutting machinery. These applications typically require frequent bearing replacement due to the ingress of highly corrosive fluids and loss of lubrication. Bishop-Wisecarver’s new DualVee® washdown wheels can increase replacement intervals a minimum of three-fold, and are interchangeable with standard vee wheels for ease of replacement. Standard DualVee AISI type 420 stainless steel track complements the washdown...
