We didn't invent the wheel. We just applied know-how, innovation and the ambition to make the most hygienic castor in the world. 

Without castors to move trollies, tables and machinery around the production facility the world would be full of hassle and harder work – but free of one of the main sources of cross-contamination. Castors are an essential part of the production line, but unfortunately, they’re difficult to clean properly. Up until now, that is.

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 castor solutions is the brake, however with the new hygienic castor from NGI, the brake is integrated into the fork housing and locking of rotation and pivoting occurs inside the castor.

Test by Force Technology - Hygienic castors versus standard castors
 

Force Technology - Danish Technological University Center of hygienic design - has also tested our new castors against standard castors. The test illustrates the significant savings in resources and enhanced food safety.

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.
