Mr. Laplante needs a high temp
screw conveyor bearing
Hi, one of my customer got a
lot of problems with hanger bearing and shaft on screw
conveyor... they handle a really fluffy and really abrasive
product (dust) and it's also a really hot product, can go up
to 370° F in some case.
Dust goes inside the insert
and wear shaft and insert at the same time. Did a really
good seal type bearing insert can do the job or do you have
any others suggestion for me.
Thanks,
Pete Laplante
