Plastic Bearings for Glass Cleaning Lines
Our bearings were used on conveyor belts for glass products. The use of metal bearings when cleaning ground glass results in water contamination due to lubricating grease. Worse yet, glass particles reduce bearing lubrication, leading to increased wear on the bearings and higher production downtime. To eliminate the problem, we offered our plastic bearings. The bearing dimensions are designed according to the current machine equipment to avoid design changes to the machines. Future design changes, such as longer shafts, are also individually accommodated by us. In the specific example, a self-aligning ball bearing was used. This allowed us to ensure maximum flexibility of the shaft. Thus, changes in shaft length[…..]
