Maintenance engineers spent the next season experimenting with
bearings from several manufacturers’ to determine which brand
would deliver the best performance during the busiest time of
their production cycle.
Working with Emerson Power Transmission and Kaman Industrial,
maintenance staff selected Sealmaster®
PN Gold lubed-for-life bearings as one of the test bearings.
After testing against several competitors, Sealmaster PN Gold
outperformed them all. PN Gold lubed-for-life bearings
eliminated the lubrication process and met the performance
needs of the vegetable canning company.
PN Gold lubed-for-life bearings feature a patented High
Performance Seal (HPS) with multi directional, triple contact
lips and a 300 Series stainless steel flinger that reduces
incoming contamination and improves overall bearing life.
A high strength, reinforced, composite housing delivers high
load capacity. The housing features solid base construction and
a smooth, easy-to-clean finish with minimal gaps and no fillings,
allowing fewer places for bacteria to grow.
The plant is in the process of replacing the conveyor bearings
in the Wisconsin facility with PN Gold lubed-for-life bearings
and has recommended the bearings to other company plants.
