GRAPHALLOY® Solves Conveyor Chain Sprocket Failures in High-Temperature Composite Curing Process

 Repeated bushing failures in a 400°F curing oven were causing downtime for a fiberglass conduit manufacturer. Graphalloy engineered a bronze-grade bushing solution that delivered smooth rotation, excellent wear resistance, and improved reliability, prompting plans for system-wide replacement.

GRAPHALLOY® Bushings Succeed in Difficult Ethane/ CO2 Pump

Pumping CO₂ and light hydrocarbons such as ethane introduces reliability challenges not found in conventional liquid service. These fluids provide little lubricity, increasing the risk of metal-to-metal contact, galling, and seizure during upset conditions.

GRAPHALLOY® self-lubricating bushings eliminate reliance on fluid lubrication and continue operating through dry running and flashing events. The result is improved pump reliability, tighter operating clearances, and increased efficiency in demanding service environments.
