Shielding bearings from silica dust

Shielding bearings from silica dust

As BSC engineers studied the root cause of frequent bearing failures for a building waste recycling company, they discovered the problem was a result of silica-rich dust penetrating the bearings.

The issue was resolved by designing custom housings, equipped with Alemlube’s automatic lubrication systems (ALS) to keep the seals continually purged. This helped prevent further contamination, saving the plant over $10,000 in lost productivity. READ MORE…
