Sugar Coated Confectionery Manufacturer
History
A confectionery manufacturer was experiencing water ingress on a conveyor, causing crystallisation of sugar on the equipment. This was causing costly machine breakdowns, resulting in lost production and increased maintenance intervals.
Corrective Measures
We suggested the use of NSK F-UC208LP99 and F-UC210LP99 Molded-Oil™ bearing inserts as an alternative to the existing installation. Having trialled these successfully for 18 months, the client is now ordering the Molded-Oil™ inserts to replace all original bearings. Greasing has now been eliminated, representing a major saving in labour and downtime. The customer has, at our suggestion, also implemented care and maintenance training programmes.
