23 Jun Lubed-for-life bearings drive improved efficiency
Bearing failures are always an unwanted hassle for industrial plants, particularly so if they lead to shutting down a critical operation. Tony Tormey, BSC’s Product Manager for Industrial Bearings, says water and dust ingress is a major cause for bearing failures in industrial settings. As a...
01 Jun A set-and-forget solution with Molded-OilTM bearings
Bearings in the recycling industry are subject to varying levels of temperature and moisture. While conventional bearings use grease or oil to keep the rotating elements running smoothly, solid lubricant bearings, such as the NSK Molded-OilTMbearings, use solid lubricants that do not require any re-lubrication. NSK’s...
06 Mar Bearing the contamination of foul water
The challenge for any water and wastewater operation is in keeping the equipment running efficiently in spite of the harsh conditions and contamination it is exposed to. Foul water contamination in particular will affect the life of essential components such as bearings in rotating machinery. This is why a triple-sealed bearing is often recommended for applications in the water treatment sector.
31 Jan Keeping operations sweet with sugar cane shredders
All sugar cane that passes through a sugar mill must pass through a shredder, which reduces the cane to a fibrous mass before it passes on to further crushing and refining processes required for the production of sugar.
21 Nov Getting your bearings right with solid lubrication
One of the key challenges that the quarrying sector faces is environmental contamination of plant equipment. It’s the nature of the industry – dirt and dust get into all the components of rotating machinery, and this poses problems for the machine function, particularly when it affects the bearings.
