Insulation plant saves €648,880 a year with NSK bearings A market-leading manufacturer of insulation products for the construction industry turned to NSK for help in solving repeat bearings failures on the blade guide rollers of its three recently installed band saws. On occasions, bearing changes were taking place at the plant on a daily basis, resulting in costly downtime and increased maintenance. An on-site failed bearing analysis by our expert engineering team revealed that bearing failures were occurring due to the ingress of contaminants, which duly led to the recommendation of our deep groove ball bearings with high-performance DDU sealing, using a patented full contact sealing mechanism. Today, the plant changes its bearings every 3-4 months as part of a planned maintenance schedule, delivering annual cost savings of €648,880.
