Workshop trolleys
Mobile storage solution for tools
Trolleys play an essential part in many workshops by ensuring that tools are well organised and easy to use. They provide mobile storage for a wide variety of tools and equipment. When fitted with high-quality castors, they are easy to move to wherever work is underway.
More than anything else, workshop trolleys need to be ergonomic. Assembling machinery and other workshop tasks frequently involve moving heavy parts around. The distance which these parts need to cover puts a lot of strain on workers. Workshop trolleys need to have suitable castors which are easy to operate to maximise efficiency and ergonomics by reducing this distance and taking the load off workshop employees.
That’s why treads made of standard solid rubber have proven themselves to be the best suited for wheels and castors on worktop trolleys. The soft tread used by the VPP and V series provides a high level of operational comfort and low noise levels, even when transporting heavy loads. The POEV series uses the particularly high-quality elastic solid rubber tread known as Blickle "EasyRoll" and is frequently used in workshops due to its smoothness and outstanding economic properties. The main advantage of this series is that the wheel makes work more ergonomic and easier for users by combining a particularly low level of rolling resistance with an ultra-high level of operational comfort.

Food production
Blickle castors meet demanding hygiene requirements
The food production industry uses a variety of trolleys, from transport trolleys through to storage trolleys and trolleys for handling materials. Blickle wheels and castors are used whenever an appealing design, high load capacities and a high level of hygiene are required.
In addition to meeting hygiene requirements, wheels and castors must provide a low level of rolling resistance, low-noise operation and rugged resilience. Whereas wheels and castors with polyurethane treads have already achieved a leading position in the traditional industrial sector because they combine high load capacity, a high level of floor surface preservation and low rolling resistance, the frequently humid environments in the food and hygiene sector often make hard plastic wheels the preferred option.
Blickle’s POTHS series with a soft thermoplastic polyurethane tread and the POBS series with a Besthane Soft® tread brings the comfort of polyurethane treads to the food industry. A particularly thick tread cushion made of the soft, reaction-injected premium Blickle Besthane® Soft polyurethane, which is cast onto a polyamide wheel centre, makes the POBS series ideal for use even in humid environments. In contrast to conventional wheels with polyurethane treads, these wheels are completely hydrolysis- and corrosion-resistant. Another plus is their high chemical resistance to many aggressive substances.

Overhead conveyor
High speeds with Blickle guide rollers
Overhead conveyors are a well established system in the picking, storage and production facilities used by the aviation, finishing and automotive industries. Trolleys containing piece goods are moved with such conveyors by means of an overhead guidance system. The users of these systems benefit from a high level of flexibility when making changes to processes. They also gain a high level of efficiency without sacrificing production speed.
The wheels and castors used in the guidance and drive systems of overhead conveyors have to be capable of withstanding these high speeds on a 24/7 basis. Resilience and maintenance-free designs are also required in order to minimise system downtime. These systems are frequently used at every stage of production and assembly lines in the automotive sector. Because of this, the distances which they have to cover are substantial.
Guide rollers with Blickle Besthane® and Vulkollan® treads are particularly suitable for use in overhead conveyors due to their high dynamic load capacity and extremely low level of rolling resistance, which keep the systems functioning efficiently around the clock. With its extremely abrasion-resistant, 92 Shore A Vulkollan® tread, the FSVU series of guide rollers is a particularly good match for applications of this kind. The castors are casted onto a steel wheel centre, making them extremely wear-resistant and minimising the amount of maintenance required for these systems.

Sorting systems
High level of automation 24/7 with Blickle guide rollers
Sorting systems and guide rollers are used for applications where goods need to be transported to a specific destination with speed and precision, such as airport luggage sorting facilities, commercial package sorting facilities and goods sorting systems in logistics centres. The design and structure of these systems are usually tailored to specific applications. Nowadays, modern high-performance systems frequently automate steps in the sorting process which often had to be performed manually in the past. This optimises the flow of materials.
As sorting systems become more automated, they tend to run for longer, all the way through to a 24/7 operation. The speed at which the goods in these systems are transported is increasing all the time. These sorting systems require guide rollers which meet these demanding requirements and can also keep resources safe using rolling-resistance-optimised treads.
Blickle uses guide rollers with a high dynamic load capacity to reduce the heat which builds up when these systems are run for a long period of time at high speeds. The high-quality polyurethane tread used by the FPOB and FSVU series set new benchmarks in these areas. The FPOB series is made by casting the 92 Shore A Blickle Besthane® polyurethane-elastomer onto a high-quality nylon wheel centre. The FSVU series is a 92 Shore A polyurethane-elastomer Vulkollan® cast onto a steel wheel centre. Both guide roller series are extremely abrasion-resistant and provide a very low level of rolling resistance.
Blickle has five other guide roller series in its standard range.

Conveyor belt systems
Blickle guide rollers for 24/7 use
Conveyor belt systems are used to transport piece goods like containers in a factory as well as bulk goods like soil in large quantities. Blickle guide rollers are used across the world to keep goods moving within these systems.
To keep these systems operating efficiently, these guide rollers need to provide a low level of rolling resistance while also being maintenance-free, as they are frequently in operation around the clock. In order to be maintenance-free, the roller needs a high level of wear resistance. A high level of concentricity is also important in order to avoid downtime. Rollers with these characteristics make it possible to transport even sensitive goods with a high level of precision and a minimal level of noise.
Customers frequently turn to Blickle’s guide rollers whenever reliability and resilience are particularly important. The high-tech materials created in Blickle’s own development centre, our extensive experience in a wide range of applications and the ability to provide special solutions are the reasons why customers across the world trust the Blickle brand for conveyor technology applications. Blickle has seven different guide roller series: The comprehensive standard range includes the nylon FPO series, the FSVU series with a Vulkollan® tread and the hydrolysis-resistant FPOB series with a Besthane® tread, which is also available with a corrosion-resistant ball bearing.

Dollies
Dollies are a quick and easy way to move lightweight containers and carriers. Dollies range in size from the dimensions of one or more small lightweight containers through to a half Euro pallet or an industrial pallet. They tend to use four swivel castors attached to a frame. Dollies can also be pulled with a tugger train using the drawbar. In this case, the dollies are fitted with two fixed castors to keep them on track.
The wheels and castors used by dollies have to meet a wide range of requirements to make sure that they are easy and flexible to use. Probably the most important consideration is ensuring a high level of manoeuvrability in all directions by minimising rolling and swivel resistance. Low-noise operation, electrical conductivity and compact designs are frequently required.
That’s why dollies frequently use wheels and castors made from nylon or polypropylene. These provide a very low level of rolling and swivel resistance and guarantee smooth motion on even surfaces. The softer alternatives of PATH with a high-quality thermoplastic polyurethane tread and the TPA series with a thermoplastic rubber-elastomer are more suitable for uneven surfaces. Electrically conductive versions of both series are also available. Wheels with soft rubber tyres in the “Blickle SoftMotion” series are frequently used whenever it is particularly important to have a quiet tread.
