At least, that's my experience from multiwheel frisbee shooters.

Basically, anything where physics is going to force the wheel to slip at high speed on the fuel for a prolonged time is probably going to melt some of it off.
I will definitely be looking for this now. Though i do have our infeed running the same speed as our shooter feeder rollers, so maybe we won't see the extended contact...
