Case Studies: How Polyurethane Star Wheels Solved Client Challenges
- A Southeast Asian mining client used rubber star wheels for ore screening equipment, which suffered from frequent wear and replacement, increasing maintenance costs by 30% annually. We provided custom cast 85A polyurethane star wheels with steel cores, optimized tooth thickness and hardness for their screening working conditions. The new star wheels have been in use for 2 years with no obvious wear, cutting the client’s maintenance cost by 65% and improving screening efficiency by 20%.
- A vegetable processing facility in North America had constant downtime from rubber wheels clogging with mud during potato sorting. Switching to our custom polyurethane star wheels cut cleaning time by 50% and reduced bruising, leading to higher yield and fewer complaints.
- In Europe, a recycling center faced rapid wear on separator components from mixed household waste; our urethane versions doubled service life, lowered maintenance budgets, and improved sorting accuracy.
