An innovative adapter-mounted Ball Bearing system has transformed the economics of maintaining Sapphire Energy Recovery's tyre shredding machines.
By changing over to the Dodge Grip Tight bearing, has completely solved a recurrent and expensive repair problem, said Baldor UK.
The Dodge Grip Tight bearing features a flinger seal and a built-in mechanism for removing the bearing from the shaft.
Sapphire Energy Recovery operates high-throughput shredding machines in four major conurbations throughout the UK, to process end-of-life car and van tyres into chips.
These chips are then used as an alternative to coal in cement manufacture.
After shredding, the tyre chips are graded for size by a classifier, which has 36 sets of bearings.
