A spring manufacturer was experiencing problems in their heat treat oven. The bearings in an overhead conveyor required weekly lubrication as well as replacement three times a year. Self lubricating GRAPHALLOY® bushings were installed eliminating the weekly lubrication and the expensive down time.
The spring manufacturer estimates cost savings of approximately $14,000 in lubrication alone. Additional savings were generated by the elimination of the shut down time.
