If you need high-quality wheels and components for your sortation systems, faigle’s expertise makes us the ideal choice. Building on our years of experience and innovative expertise, we supply optimised solutions that make your sortation processes more efficient and reliable.
Spare parts for sortation systems
Energy consumption is an increasingly important consideration for sortation system operators, alongside factors such as total operating reliability and quiet, vibration-free running.
Running wheels for these systems need to operate reliably for years on end without any maintenance. Particularly low running resistance is also essential in order to minimise systems’ energy consumption.
By contrast, low start-up torque is vital for the layout of the drive stations in the system. Meanwhile, good damping properties and low noise emissions help to improve working conditions for operating staff.
faigle wheels and components deliver a range of advantages:
- High wear resistance and durability
- Lightweight with low energy consumption
- Low-noise running and minimal vibration
- High temperature and chemical resistance
- Easy assembly and maintenance
Running wheels
These wheels help to transport goods on the sortation system tracks. They ensure smooth and secure running, while at the same time preventing damage and deformation. faigle supplies support and guiding wheels in a range of designs, each fine-tuned to the specific application.
Guiding wheels
Guiding wheels are designed to operate in guide rails or profiles. Built to ensure precise steering and alignment, they are used in applications where exact positioning is a decisive factor.
Swivel wheel comfort wheel holder
This new assembly is tailor-made for use in high-performance baggage handling and parcel sortation systems, and ensures quick and easy wheel changes. The wheel holder’s design means that it can be adapted for virtually any application, making it suitable for various types of sortation system. As a universal solution, the optimised assembly can be installed in a wide range of intralogistics facilities and series.
Sortation system wheels
High performance, low consumption: these next-generation wheels from faigle help to reduce energy consumption in parcel and baggage handling systems. Thanks to their optimised concentricity and running resistance, the wheels run smoothly and quietly, while our unique damping system absorbs shocks and vibrations.
faigle’s new guiding wheels feature a polyamide hub with a PAS-PU TCS tire – the specially developed running surface stands out for its minimal compression set. This all but eliminates flattening even after longer stoppages, which saves energy when the system restarts. The higher-strength wheel construction allows for a narrower tire without compromising on load-bearing capacity or running smoothness. A feature that translates into lower running resistance and reduced energy demand in day-to-day operations.
The SE running wheel has outstanding damping properties, above all thanks to the unique faigle damping system (FDS). It provides highly effective protection against shocks and vibrations from the wheel suspension, with no adverse effects in terms of rolling resistance. The wheel’s ribless design is also completely new. It helps to ensure low-vibration concentricity, while the smooth outer contour reduces dust deposits, for effective protection against pockets of dirt.
The completely black SE running wheel is available with laser marking in a range of colours.
Plastic wheels for sortation systems
QUALITY FROM FAIGLE
At faigle, we began developing the first wheels made of thermoplastic polyurethane in 1968. And we’ve been refining our plastic wheels ever since.
Today, we supply various respected manufacturers with wheels for warehouse logistics, sortation and conveying systems.
