Foundry Applications Filled Bearings

Overhead conveyor

BEARING TYPE:

6" wheels

CONDITIONS:

Conveyor carries parts through system with the wheels exposed to shot blast process. This causes the wheel cover to come off which allows shot material to enter and destroy the bearings. Manual lubrication was required which caused down time and additional labor costs. Liquid lubricant has caused fires periodically.

RESULTS:

MicroPoly is keeping the shot material out of the bearing, even when the wheel cover comes off. The life of the wheels has increased.
