Chiller Wheels

The existing roller system experienced frequent failures due to:

  • Extremely heavy loads (up to 40,000 pounds)
  • Uneven steel beds causing poor load distribution
  • Excessive stress concentrated on a small number of rollers

These issues resulted in:

  • High rates of roller failure
  • Constant maintenance and repairs
  • Operational inefficiencies and downtime

Problem Description

Argonics developed a custom-engineered roller solution tailored to the application:

  • Designed rollers that could compress slightly to redistribute load across multiple rollers
  • Improved load distribution to prevent stress concentration
  • Incorporated stainless steel hubs and stand-offs to resist rust in wet conditions

Results:

  • Rollers successfully handled both heavy loads and repeated cycling
  • Eliminated catastrophic roller failures
  • Adapted to uneven steel beds while maintaining strength
  • Reduced maintenance issues

The manufacturer can now use Kryptane urethane rollers with confidence, replacing them on a planned maintenance schedule rather than reacting to unexpected failures.
