845 Inserts Solve Problem at Paper Mill

GRAPHALLOY 845 Inserts

GRAPHALLOY^® 845 inserts solved a major problem at a paper mill in South Carolina.  The mill was experiencing production loss due to problems in their forced air dryers.  The dryers were used on a tissue paper line; rapid drying of the delicate paper was essential to the manufacturing process. The 650° F operating temperature in the drying process was causing bearing failures in the roof top damper banks. The result was production down time.

The ball bearings were replaced by GRAPHALLOY inserts.  After only six months operation, the customer was so satisfied that they replaced the ball bearings with GRAPHALLOY inserts on their second production line.
