Bearings for stone processing plants

Bearings for stone processing plants

Stone processing plants, such as those for cutting, polishing, or milling marble, granite, and other natural stones, require bearings that are highly resistant due to the extreme working conditions.

In these environments, bearings must withstand not only heavy loads but also fine dust, moisture, and sometimes aggressive chemical agents.

Customized solutions can be developed to meet specific needs:

  1. Working environment: Bearings in these environments are exposed to a large amount of stone dust and moisture. Therefore, it is crucial that they are made with corrosion-resistant materials or equipped with effective seals to protect them from external contamination.

  2. Load capacity: Given the heavy nature of the processed materials, bearings must have a significant load capacity, both radial and axial, depending on the specific application and the arrangement of forces involved.

  3. Lubrication: Choosing the right type and amount of lubricant is essential to ensure the longevity of bearings in such challenging conditions. Special greases are often used that can resist contamination and maintain their lubricating properties even under high load.
