Proven reliability in high-temperature glass applications

Graphalloy® self-lubricating bearings perform where conventional bearings fail.

• 
  Operate up to 1000°F without grease
• Resist corrosion, dust, and contamination
• Extend service life and reduce downtime

In one glass application, Graphalloy cam followers lasted over 4× longer—saving more than $15,000 annually.

Geothermal Brine Pump Case Study

  

GRAPHALLOY® bushings replace failed metal and plastic bearings in extreme-temperature geothermal brine pumps, delivering long-term performance in one of the harshest environments on earth.

 GRAPHALLOY® self-lubricating bearings have proven their value in some of the toughest food processing environments. In one potato chip fryer application, GRAPHALLOY pillow blocks on the paddle wheel drive shaft ran continuously for over six years at 375°F — without grease, without failure, and without downtime. By eliminating lubrication needs and resisting both heat and caustic washdowns, these bearings delivered reliability that standard greased bearings couldn’t match. Today, the snack producer considers GRAPHALLOY standard equipment across their facility.
