Avoid a main source of cross-contamination with a hygienically optimized caster

The design of all traditional castors makes it impossible to clean 100%. However, besides estimated savings in resources of up to 32%, our hygienic castors also solve this issue!

As the wash-down test shows, total cleanability can be obtained with our new hygienic castors, whereas standard castors still represent a continuous significant threat, as they are still very much infected with organic bacteria after wash-down. Watch the test below!

Stainless steel is a natural choice when it comes to hygienic design and we’ve combined it with a one-sided fork housing that provides easy access for cleaning combined with smooth and drainable surfaces that are either round or have a 3° angle.

One of the weak points with current caster solutions is the brake, however, with the new hygienic caster from NGI, the brake is integrated into the fork housing, and locking of rotation and pivoting occurs inside the caster.
