Description
Custom Thick Tread Silicone Coated Wheels
Our Custom Thick Tread Silicone Coated Wheels are engineered for smooth conveyor roller applications where non-marking performance and long-lasting tread life are essential. As a top professional custom solution provider in China, we manufacture these wheels with a dense silicone layer that absorbs vibration, reduces noise, and protects load-bearing surfaces. This means your material handling line runs quietly and requires less frequent replacement, which directly lowers downtime and maintenance costs. Each wheel is built on a precision steel or aluminum core, and our silicone compound delivers reliable performance from -40°C to +200°C. Our factory has supplied OEM/ODM products to more than 20 countries, and every batch is tested for hardness, adhesion, and wear before shipment. These wheels are for sale at competitive wholesale prices, with expert advice and price suggestions to help you select the right specification for your global market.
Why Choose This Product
Customers in the material handling, food processing, pharmaceutical, and electronics industries choose these thick tread silicone wheels because they solve the real challenges of continuous operation.
- Thick tread construction extends service life in continuous-run conveyor systems, cutting replacement frequency and total operating cost.
- Non-marking silicone keeps floors and products clean in food, pharmaceutical, and electronics plants, protecting sensitive surfaces and reducing cleaning time.
- Customizable diameter, width, core type, and Shore hardness let you match the exact roller requirement, with our engineering team offering expert advice for your specific load and speed.
- Low rolling resistance helps reduce motor energy consumption, making these wheels an energy-efficient upgrade for existing conveyor lines.
- Each wheel is dynamically balanced to minimize vibration even at higher line speeds, supporting stable AGV and conveyor operation.

Material Properties Reference
| Compound | Shore A Range | Abrasion Resistance | Oil Resistance | Load Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polyurethane (PU) | 20-98 A | Excellent ★★★★★ | Good | Excellent |
| Natural Rubber (NR) | 25-98 A | Excellent ★★★★★ | Poor | Excellent |
| Nitrile (NBR) | 20-95 A | Good ★★★ | Excellent | Good |
| EPDM | 20-95 A | Good ★★★ | Poor | Good |
| Silicone | 40-90 A | Fair ★★ | Good | Moderate |
From the comparison, silicone offers superior temperature flexibility and non-marking properties, making it the best choice for extreme-temperature or clean-room environments, while polyurethane remains the top choice for high-abrasion and heavy-load applications. Our thick tread silicone wheels also deliver practical benefits in daily operation: the non-marking surface leaves no residue on floors, high wear resistance extends service life, and the silicone compound dampens vibration for quiet operation. The material resists oils, solvents, and mild acids, while the thick tread absorbs shocks on uneven surfaces, protecting both the wheel and your floor. We can recommend the optimal material based on your working conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is your MOQ for custom silicone coated wheels?
Our MOQ for Custom Thick Tread Silicone Coated Wheels is usually 100 pieces, but we can discuss lower trials for new projects. We offer expert advice to help you select the right material and geometry for your market needs.
Can you produce thick tread wheels with a Shore hardness of 60 for food conveyor lines?
Yes, we can adjust the tread thickness and hardness from Shore A 40 to 70. A 60 Shore A silicone provides good cushioning and low noise for food conveyor lines, while still maintaining enough load support. Please share your load and speed parameters for our recommendation.
Do you support OEM/ODM customization of the wheel core and branding?
Absolutely. We are a professional custom solution manufacturer in China, offering OEM and ODM services including core design, silicone color, surface texture, and custom packaging. Your brand mark can be molded or printed on the wheel.
How do you ensure the silicone layer does not peel off the core?
We use a chemical primer plus heat bonding process to fuse the silicone to the core. This gives high peel strength and prevents separation even under continuous load. Our bonding quality is validated in our ISO9001-certified factory.
What is the typical lead time for a 500-piece order?
Typical lead time is around 15-20 working days after order confirmation, depending on quantity and material availability. During busy seasons it may extend slightly, but we will always keep you informed.
Can these wheels be used on curved conveyor sections?
Yes, these wheels are suitable for tapered or curved conveyor frames due to the smooth silicone surface and manageable side clearance. We can provide engineering drawings to verify the fit for your specific conveyor radius.
Do you provide free samples for evaluation?
Yes, sample orders are welcome. We can produce a small batch with your required Shore hardness and dimensions so you can test performance in your actual line before placing a bulk order.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept T/T, L/C, and for existing customers, PayPal or Western Union for sample fees. We will include full payment terms and proforma invoice for your order.
