Polymer Wheels – Less Wear, More Savings

Patent-Pending Polymer Wheels for Self-Contained Compactors

We’ve done the research, so you reap the rewards.

Are you tired of damaged concrete pads and having to replace worn out wheels on your compactors and containers? PTR’s patent-pending polymer wheels are specially designed to eliminate the problems experienced with traditional steel wheels.

Specially formulated composition and durometer have led to an industry changing innovation. The need for costly steel plates being imbedded or anchored to your pads for protection from damage and costly service repairs are now a thing of the past, thanks to our patent-pending polymer wheels.

With PTR polymer wheels, your concrete pad is protected from damage and rust, you will virtually eliminate the potential for wearing out your wheels. This will lead to significant savings in costly replacement charges. Our low coefficient of friction design gets rid of the need for service technicians to grease wheels and axels.

Keep Equipment Operating at Optimal Levels with PTR Preventative Maintenance

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) highly recommends yearly maintenance checks on waste and recycling equipment. Preventative Maintenance is key to the longevity of your baler or compactor, and therefore to the productivity of your waste management system and staff. PTR’s programs are a cost-effective measure for your organization.

Keep equipment functioning at prime efficiency and employees safe and productive with Preventative Maintenance. No matter what fleet size, your organization will benefit greatly from our Preventative Maintenance programs.

After years of regular use, the oil quality in your baler or compactor will degrade. Parts will also begin to wear, thus creating a domino effect. From there, pressure capability and material weights decrease. That reduction in compactor weights result in additional pull fees for your company. Likewise, balers not working at optimal levels result in lower bale weights and an increase in labor costs. Productivity takes a down-turn, fees soar, and sanitation issues will likely arise.

PTR’s Preventative Maintenance Program technician will address the critical systems and structures of your unit. Here’s just a few of the areas they’ll cover during the visit:

Evaluate overall equipment condition.

Verify that all safety decals are in good condition.

Test and verify the operation of safety features.

Thoroughly inspect the cylinder welds and seals.

Grease all fittings.

Inspect all hoses and crimps.

Inspect all hose clamps and tighten as needed.

Inspect motor for signs of wear or end of life conditions.

Inspect pump for leaks or signs of failure.

Inspect oil level and general condition.

(Optional) Perform oil analysis by an independent laboratory.

Operate gauge and verify that there are no leaks and operational.
