Automotive Applications Filled Bearings

Crankshaft grinding line, overhead conveyor wheels

BEARING TYPE:

4" conveyor wheels

CONDITIONS:

Continuous lubrication required as conveyor goes through washer. Wheels are sprayed with oil, which drips on to the floor causing severe safety hazard and housekeeping problems. Washer solution becomes contaminated. Bearing life 6 to 9 months.

RESULTS:

With MicroPoly, the bearing life was increased to 3 years. Safety hazards and housekeeping problems have been completely eliminated, with no need for any maintenance of the lube system. A quote from the maintenance foreman "It's the smartest thing I could have done."
