Graphalloy® “Can” Do It!

Series 327 Pillow Block Assemblies

In early January, a leading producer of aluminum beer cans came to us looking to upgrade the roller bearings in their 750 °F heat-treating ovens. After installing our self-lubricating pillow block assemblies, they’ve experienced two months of maintenance-free operation and have requested a quote on 26 more units to expand the solution across their production line.
