Stainless Steel Casters for Food Processing
Food processing requires 304 or 316 stainless rig (304 standard, 316 for chloride-heavy environments), kingpinless design (eliminates kingpin joint corrosion), sealed precision bearings, and polyurethane wheel rated for caustic and sanitizer cycles.
A meat processing plant near Amarillo re-spec'd 90 transfer carts from 304 stainless to 316 stainless after chloride exposure caused corrosion at the 14-month mark. The 316 upgrade cost $15/caster; avoided fleet replacement was $5,400.
