Spark Proof Casters – Non-Ferrous & Explosion-Proof Solutions

Aerol spark proof casters are non-ferrous, with most of the construction comprising A356 cast aluminum combined with 304 Stainless Steel external fasteners. These casters help eliminate the threat of ignition caused by mechanical sparks; metal-on-metal contact can inadvertently produce sparks during movement or impact.  Aerol spark proof casters will not ignite vapors or high concentrations of dust.

These non-ferrous casters make them non-magnetic, preventing interference with magnetic fields or explosive devices.

Aerol designs spark proof casters for environments that require spark attenuation, full conductivity, and explosion-proof solutions. These casters come standard with fully sealed swivel sections and wheel hubs, helping to mitigate cross contamination.

This specific line of casters is well suited for applications in the pharmaceutical, oil and gas, and fuel storage industries that must adhere to explosion proof requirements during certain manufacturing processes. Aerol has decades of proven use in the manufacturing of gun powder.

Specifications

Depending on load and maneuverability requirements, these casters can be specified in single and dual-wheel configurations.

Engineers typically specify Aerol spark proof casters with fully conductive rubber-treaded wheels or choose 304 stainless wheels in various styles. (V-groove, flat, or radiused running surfaces)
