Here are some examples:

• GRAPHALLOY 845 series flange units have reduced maintenance costs in Chicken Roasters by more than 50% after replacing standard ball bearing units.

• 400°F temperatures caused failure in pillow blocks on a Hot Strip Mill Run Out Table. GRAPHALLOY 448 pillow blocks were able to with stand the temperature as well as the quench spray.

• Conveyor running above a 1020°F zinc bath presented a problem for traditional bearings. GRAPHALLOY 318 flange units provided years of trouble free operation

• A vacuum at 1500°F is an environment that most bearings cannot handle. GRAPHALLOY 963 pillow blocks have been running for more than a year without problems

• Six years of maintenance free operation was the result of the GRAPHALLOY replacements of spherical roller bearing pillow blocks on a salt cake conveyor

• Submerged Rotating Fish Screens in the Columbia River are a great application for GRAPHALLOY pillow blocks and demonstrate long-life submerged.

• Harsh chemical wash down required replacing 24 of 96 ball bearing pillow blocks on a weekly basis. GRAPHALLOY 845 pillow blocks have run for more than six years with an annual savings exceeding $20,000!
