Ductile Iron Wheels

0 Likes 576 Views

Ductile Iron Wheel: W-9108-DI-TB-.75 [Red]

Ductile iron wheels are perfectly positioned between Cast Iron and Forged Steel Wheels, combining the best features of both for exceptional performance.

Ductile iron is a modern alloy developed in the mid-20th century. It is made by adding a small amount of magnesium to molten iron, which causes the graphite to form in nodules rather than flakes. This gives the material its characteristic ability to bend without breaking.

One of the main advantages of ductile iron is its ductility or pliability, which makes it less brittle and more resistant to cracking under stress. Ductile iron is also more corrosion-resistant than cast iron, making it a better choice for outdoor applications.

Crowned Ductile Iron Wheel: W-9108-DIC-TB-.75 [Red]

Our ductile iron wheels are formed using a casting process and boast a maximum capacity of 15,000 lbs. Ductile iron gives these wheels durability, high strength, flexibility, wear resistance, and impact and fatigue resistance. They produce very little traction on floor surfaces, making them easier to push and pull. The trade-off to the incredible strength of Ductile Iron Wheels is that they can be noisy, prone to vibration, and may damage floor surfaces.

Our ductile steel wheels are painted red and have extra-thick treads, hubs, and walls. They come in diameters from 5″ to 12″ with tread widths of both 2″ and 3″. Wheels are available with a crowned tread, and both roller and tapered bearings are options. While ductile iron wheels are more expensive than steel wheels, they offer a cost-effective alternative to forged steel wheels.

Ductile iron wheels are excellent for high-capacity applications and, with a temperature range of -45º to 180º F, can be used in harsh weather conditions. They are excellent for many industries, including aerospace, automotive, construction, and agriculture. Their abrasion-resistant properties are also excellent in harsh environments, and these wheels offer a long service life.

If you’re looking for a wheel that balances affordability and high capacity and is perfectly positioned between Steel Wheels and Forged Steel Wheels, talk to your local Algood representative or a member of our customer service team about our Ductile Steel Wheels.

What’s really changed after COVID?

3 Likes 834 Views

In the thick of the COVID crisis, many pundits predicted how we do business would change forever. Now, a year after the official end of the COVID emergency, I’ve been thinking about what, if anything, is really different here at Algood. I’m usually skeptical about what the so-called experts say, but I have to admit, I’m surprised at the amount of change that has occurred. Here’s what I’ve noticed.

Face-to-face is rare. Five years ago, if I told a customer I wanted to arrange a video call, the response would likely be, “Huh?” A good portion would not have had access to a Zoom or Teams account and if it were something important, the clear expectation would be that I would arrange to be there in person. Today, if I tell a customer I’m flying out to see them, they would probably want to know what’s wrong. Even with companies that haven’t been on the leading edge of the technology curve, the adoption of video calls is broad.

Hybrid is here to stay. There’s no question that a lasting impact of COVID is remote work, but it’s a multi-faceted dynamic. Many members of our management and administrative teams work from home for at least part of the week. The related work-life balance and time staff members can spend with family reduces stress and allows for greater focus. In addition, productivity has increased because contributions are measured in terms of availability, output or tasks completed, as opposed to simply hours worked. However, the inability to collaborate and brainstorm in person as a team is a clear loss.

Good employees are hard to find. The ‘great resignation’ and other COVID-related effects have significantly shifted the dynamics of the labour market. Skilled and responsible employees are now in high demand, leading to increased wages and a need for what I call, ‘forced flexibility’ in work arrangements. This shift is putting employees in a position of advantage, forcing businesses to adapt to whatever their demands might be.

Turning on a dime. Within weeks of the onset of COVID, at Algood, we were in complete overdrive, forced to respond to the never-ending needs of healthcare and related sectors. We had to pivot then and we have become even more adaptable since. Not only can we better engineer solutions, but our manufacturing processes can be re-tooled even quicker. We are definitely able to be more responsive.

Speed Matters. As I mentioned, the early days of the pandemic were just-in-time manufacturing on steroids. We simply couldn’t produce casters or wheels fast enough. While the urgency has been lifted, the demand for speed remains. In part, that results from the “Amazon next-day delivery” effect. Also, customers gained the upper hand during the pandemic, and they are not about to relinquish it. We are constantly being pushed to deliver faster.

Rich Relationships. For many reasons, surviving COVID required relationships you could count on—whether with long-time customers, suppliers, accountants, lawyers, or bankers. The importance of having those relationships has been maintained, and we see it in the day-to-day of our business. While we are thrilled to meet the needs of every customer—new and old—our goal, more than before the pandemic, is to create deep, long-term relationships.

No more jackets. In our more laid-back environment at Algood, dress was never a big deal – unless you were going to see a customer or an important contact. But, two years of dress shirts paired with shorts or pyjama bottoms changed all that. Jackets are a relic and in fact, sneakers have become a mainstay of business attire. As long as what you’re wearing is clean and unwrinkled, it’s a free-for-all.

What’s on your list? It’s interesting for me to think about what has changed from an Algood perspective. But I wonder how many of these are unique to us. I’d like to know what you are seeing in your businesses. What’s on your list of post-COVID changes?

There’s No Substitute for Testing

1 Like 649 Views

Testing is the only way to ensure that casters and wheels live up to manufacturers’ claims and specifications. That’s why you need to be well-informed about the testing and validation procedures that are being used to verify the quality and performance of the casters and wheels you are specifying or buying. At Algood, we use a variety of testing protocols to ensure that our products meet the highest standards of performance and durability. Our testing is based on requirements established by the Institute of Caster and Wheel Manufacturers. However, the conditions we subject casters to and the results we consider satisfactory exceed industry standards.

In this issue of CasterU, we provide a guide to the testing we carry out at Algood so that you can feel confident when buying casters and wheels.

Our comprehensive testing regimen is the backbone of our commitment to quality and durability. We adhere to the strictest industry standards, surpassing even the most rigorous requirements of specialized industries. Our testing procedures leave no room for error, ensuring that each caster that leaves our facility is primed for unparalleled performance.

Dynamic Test: Withstanding real-life obstacles
Our dynamic testing replicates real-world conditions, pushing each caster to its limits. Testing at maximum rated load capacity, our casters navigate obstacle courses at varying speeds, undergoing rigorous on-and-off maneuvers. Testing procedures are developed to simulate actual applications by adjusting parameters such as floor conditions (obstacle heights), rolling speed, and run time/rest time. To pass the Algood testing standards, casters with stem mounts must complete a minimum of 500 obstacles, and those with plates must complete 5,000. This comprehensive approach guarantees that every caster can withstand the toughest challenges.

Static Test: Structural stability under load
Structural integrity is paramount in the world of casters. Our static tests assess the maximum weight a caster rig can withstand when it is not in motion, effectively determining the static load capacity of a caster or wheel. This rigorous evaluation allows our customers to accurately and confidently specify the casters and wheels that will meet their requirements.

Thermal Test: Measuring high-temperature performance
Our advanced heat chamber simulates a high-temperature environment in static and dynamic situations. Testing is carried out for casters used in applications such as bakery ovens and autoclaves. The number of temperature cycles without cracking or degradation, is established. Each test cycle takes the caster, loaded at rated capacity, from room temperature to 475 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour and then back to room temperature. Extended tests are carried out at 525ºF for 30 minutes. In addition to ensuring casters will exceed our customers’ needs, we use test results to refine the blend of wheel compounds to further enhance high-temperature performance.

Vertical Impact Test: Determining minimum impact strength
The vertical impact test measures the minimum impact strength of casters. It uses a free-falling weight (or similar force) to test how much impact energy could cause the caster to malfunction or break if an object drops on it. Additionally, all wheels undergo individual impact testing. These tests also validate component-level performance and resistance to deformation under impact.

Testing: Protect your investment
Our comprehensive testing regimen is the backbone of our commitment to quality and durability. We adhere to the strictest industry standards, surpassing even the most rigorous requirements of specialized industries.

Brake/Locking Fatigue Testing: Stopping on time
The test establishes the durability/fatigue performance of the caster braking/locking device, allowing continuous cycling from the braking to the non-braking position. Requirements are established based on application and performance standards for different braking devices.

Insufficient or substandard testing could result in caster failure, equipment damage, load loss, or even serious injury.

To protect your caster investment, make sure the casters and wheels you specify or buy have been tested using the same demanding Algood standards.
