Foundry Applications Filled Bearings

Conveyor chain bearings

BEARING TYPE:

Roller and ball bearings

CONDITIONS:

Higher than room temperature and sand contamination caused premature and inconsistent bearing life. The bearings could not be re-lubricated, complicating the bearing life problem further, causing excessive downtime and high maintenance costs.

RESULTS:

Bearing life was increased to 6-7 years, substantially improving uptime and reducing maintenance costs.
