Corrosion Resistance and Cleanability

ABOUT US

Since its establishment in 2001, Zhongshan Youchi Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. has been rooted in Xiaolan Town, Zhongshan City, the production base of casters in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. With outstanding technical strength and rich work experience, it has grown rapidly into a professional caster manufacturing enterprise integrating research and development, planning, production, and sales. The factory covers an area of 20000 square meters and has more than 200 experienced employees, forming a full industry chain of independent production capabilities from caster development planning, mold manufacturing to stamping and injection molding, ensuring that every product can meet the diverse needs of customers.

Medical casters must be able to withstand frequent cleaning. Hospitals use strong disinfectants to kill bacteria and viruses. These chemicals can damage casters that are not designed for them.

Corrosion resistance is very important for medical casters. The bracket and other metal parts must not rust. Stainless steel is the best material for corrosion resistance. It can withstand repeated exposure to cleaning chemicals without rusting or pitting.

Some medical casters use zinc-plated steel brackets. Zinc plating provides good corrosion resistance at a lower cost than stainless steel. However, zinc plating can wear off over time, especially if it is scratched. Once the plating is damaged, the steel underneath can rust.

Hospital Patient Beds

Our medical casters are widely installed on standard hospital patient beds. Featuring ultra-silent rolling and flexible 360° rotation, they allow medical staff to smoothly push and adjust beds during ward checks, patient transfers and emergency treatments. The reliable braking system locks the bed firmly in place to avoid accidental sliding, ensuring patient safety and a quiet, restful ward environment all day long.

Medical Trolleys & Instrument Carts

These heavy-duty medical casters are ideal for medication trolleys, surgical instrument carts and nursing service carts used in clinics and operating rooms. With excellent wear resistance and stable load-bearing performance, they adapt to frequent pushing and turning in narrow hospital aisles. The scratch-proof wheel design protects sterile medical floors, while low-noise movement avoids disrupting medical procedures and patient recovery.

Rehabilitation & Emergency Medical Equipment

The casters perfectly match various rehabilitation equipment, stretchers and emergency rescue devices. Made of medical-grade corrosion-resistant materials, they withstand regular disinfection and cleaning in high-standard medical environments. Their smooth and stable rolling performance ensures flexible and labor-free equipment movement, greatly improving the efficiency of emergency rescue and daily rehabilitation care for medical institutions.

Application Cases

The wheel material must also resist chemicals. TPR and polyurethane are generally resistant to common hospital disinfectants. Nylon is also chemically resistant. But some rubber compounds can break down when exposed to certain chemicals.

Cleanability is another important factor. Medical casters should have smooth surfaces without cracks or crevices where dirt and bacteria can hide. Some casters have sealed bearings and enclosed brackets that prevent liquid from getting inside.

The design of the caster should allow easy cleaning. There should be no sharp corners or hard-to-reach areas. Some medical casters are designed to be fully washable. They can be sprayed with water and disinfectant without damage.

How do we manufacture casters

Step #1

Raw material preparation: metal (cold-rolled steel plate/manganese steel), wheel body materials (polyurethane/rubber/nylon, etc.), auxiliary materials (bearings, brake components, etc.) pre-treatment.

Metal bracket processing: stamping and bending → welding/riveting → electrophoresis/galvanizing/chrome surface treatment.

Wheel manufacturing: polyurethane/rubber wheels (mixing → injection molding → vulcanization/casting); Nylon/plastic wheels (automated injection molding); Cast iron/steel wheels (melting → casting → machining).

Assembly of bearings and rotating systems: Install precision bearings to ensure flexible and low-noise rotation.

Final assembly and functional integration: The wheel body is connected to the bracket, and modules such as brakes and shock absorbers are integrated.

Quality inspection: Conduct tests such as load bearing, brake fatigue, salt spray, and visual/dimensional inspection.

Packaging and Shipping: Classify packaging by model, support customized labels and logistics.

In high-risk areas like operating rooms, casters may need to be sterilized. Some casters can withstand autoclave sterilization at high temperatures. These casters are made from special materials that can handle the heat.

Good corrosion resistance and cleanability are not optional for medical casters. They are essential for maintaining a safe and hygienic hospital environment.
