Efficient material handling is essential in textile factories to ensure smooth movement of fabric rolls, dyeing carriers, and production trolleys. One of the most reliable components in this process is the UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) wheel, known for its durability and low friction. Many modern textile factories in Bangladesh now prefer UHMWPE wheels over traditional metal or rubber wheels due to their outstanding performance and long service life.
What is a UHMWPE Wheel?
UHMWPE is a special engineering polymer with extremely high wear resistance and excellent impact strength. Wheels made from this material are designed to handle heavy loads while reducing friction, noise, and surface damage.

Why UHMWPE Wheels Perform Better in Textile Factories
Textile production environments involve moisture, chemicals, heat, and continuous load movement—conditions where UHMWPE wheels perform exceptionally well.
Key Benefits:
-
High load capacity – Supports heavy industrial trolleys
-
Low friction – Smooth and quiet rolling movement
-
Chemical resistant – Safe for dyeing and finishing environments
-
Long life span – Reduces frequent replacement costs
-
Non-marking surface – Keeps flooring clean and damage-free
-
Rust-free – Unlike steel wheels, it does not corrode
