Equipment made of steel, the ABC leather horse carts are used for handling and carrying hides of any size in any leather manufacturing plant, such as leather goods, belt, footwear and saddlery.
One of the most common issues associated with these carts is the accumulation of electrostatic potential on the cart’s surface due to the friction of the leather hides, resulting in unpleasant shocks to operator during use.
This problem can be easily solved thanks to the new antistatic system, i.e. the application of an antistatic wheel to the leather cart, providing high protection against electrostatic shocks in the production plant.
This system is an accessory supplied on request, compatible with the entire range of ABC leather horse carts.
What is an anti-static wheel?
The antistatic wheel is the ideal solution for trolleys or equipment in environments where, for reasons of functionality and safety, there is the need to ground the electrostatic charges.
Characteristics of the antistatic wheel:
- Swivel wheels in synthetic material of high quality
- tread with polyamide core, electrically conductive
- thermoplastic polyurethane band, with thread guards, precision ball bearing.
The antistatic wheel is applied in almost all industrial sectors, from medical engineering to the electronics and semiconductor industry to the automotive sector. Where there is the need of protecting against electrostatic shocks, the antistatic wheel is the solution.
The antistatic system implemented into the ABC leather horse carts is easily recognisable by its yellow central component. The purpose of the antistatic wheel is to avoid unpleasant shocks to the operator while handling and transporting leather hides.
What are the advantages of the antistatic wheel?
The are many advantages to installing the antistatic wheel on the ABC horse carts:
- Protection and Safety: provides protection against electrostatic shocks, increases workplace safety.
- Comfort for the operators: the antistatic wheel has a thermoplastic polyurethane band and a core in polyamide. Notwithstanding these peculiarities, the manoeuvrability of the leather horse cart is still guaranteed and the carts are easily moved around the factory, from one department to another.
- Operational efficiency: the installation of the antistatic system allows for an efficient and continuous use of the carts.
If you need protection against electrostatic shocks in your factory, choose the new antistatic system for the leather horse cart.
