Antimicrobial technology is the wheel thing

New wheel technology developed in the US by Colson Casters has enabled a major breakthrough in the reduction of bacteria growth and microbe transfer that can be caused by the movement of trolleys and mobile equipment in controlled environment facilities, including food processing plants, hospitals, pharmaceutical and chemical facilities. The new Prevenz wheels utilise a polyurethane compound with an EPA registered and FDA compliant antimicrobial additive, designed to suppress the growth of a variety of destructive and odour-causing microbes including bacteria, moulds, mildew and fungi. In a series of exhaustive independent tests carried out on behalf of Colson Casters, the new antimicrobial tyre compound was found to reduce significantly the potential of bacterial contamination in environments such as meat and poultry processing plants as well as in general catering areas. This new wheel technology offers a cost-effective way of enhancing existing infection control procedures, and is now available in the UK for a variety of industrial and institutional applications from Colson Castors Ltd, the UK-based manufacturing division of Colson Casters, Inc.
