Pharmaceutical plants, cleanrooms and electronics lines have strict rules on contamination and static. Standard castors can shed particles, corrode under cleaning chemicals or build up static charge. Here is what to specify.
Cleanroom and GMP castors
- Stainless steel brackets resist corrosion from wash-down and disinfectants.
- Nylon or PU wheels with smooth, sealed surfaces reduce particle release and are easy to clean.
- Sealed bearings keep lubricant in and contaminants out.
Revo Castor Wheels supplies pharmaceutical and cleanroom castors that meet ISO cleanroom classification requirements on particle release and support GMP standards.
Antistatic and conductive castors
Static discharge can damage sensitive electronics. Antistatic castors slowly dissipate charge, while electrically conductive castors provide a low-resistance path to an ESD floor. Choose conductive castors when equipment must be grounded through the floor.
Tips for controlled environments
- Check the floor type: conductive castors only work on a conductive or ESD floor.
- Keep wheels clean. Debris on the tread insulates the castor.
- Use total brake castors on workstations so they stay grounded and stable.
