Procedures for disposing and recycling products…

To dispose of and/or recycle the products after use, first of all separate the wheel+bracket assemblies from the equipment on which they are fitted. It is best to split the wheel+bracket assemblies down into the following component parts:

- bracket

- axle unit (screw, tube, nut)

- wheel

In particular, the dismantling of the wheel from the bracket is crucial if these are prevalently made from plastic material or aluminium alloy.

Below are details of disposal and recycling of the main materials making up the Tellure Rôta wheels and brackets. In any case, we suggest comparing and supplementing these details with the procedures and rules established by the company in charge of waste disposal in the area or locality where the products are used. For more detailed information or explanations, please contact our Sales Department directly.

Brackets and axle components

Steel and stainless steel can be recycled as ferrous scrap.

Wheels

We suggest that product recycling procedures include preliminary treatments that involve sorting the different materials in the wheels so as to ensure the correct disposal and/or recycling of each type of material.

- Steel and engineering cast iron can be recycled as ferrous scrap – Aluminium alloy can be recycled as non-ferrous metal

- Plastic, thermoplastic rubber and vulcanised rubber parts can be recycled once they have been separated from the ferrous and non-ferrous metals

- Thermosetting resin can be disposed of in waste dumps

- The polyurethane parts can be disposed of in waste dumps, once separated from ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Shrink-wrap packaging is recyclable as low-density polyethylene (PE-LD). Wooden pallets can be reused or recycled. Any paper or cardboard packaging returns to the paper production cycle. As regards recycling procedures, please refer to the production consortiums in the countries where the parts are disposed of.

Trolley manoeuvrability refers to the ability of a trolley to be moved more or less easily during use. The limited space available inside some production departments or particularly winding routes that sometimes connect on work unit to another may require special trolley manoeuvrability characteristics to make operator tasks easier.

Swivel castors allow the trolley to rotate and the greater the castor offset (i.e. the distance between the bracket rotation axis and the wheel rotation axis), the easier the rotation. However, though it does guarantee excellent manoeuvrability, excessive offset may cause the castor to oscillate along straight routes (Swimmy effect).

Fixed castors do not allow the trolley to change direction but do guarantee directionality. In any case, the fixed castors must be mounted so that they are perfectly parallel to each other.
