Changing to NSK Molded-Oil bearings reduces maintenance costs at a car wash

The operator of a car wash line in Germany repeatedly had to replace bearings in the rotary unions of the system’s wash heads, leading to costs of over €12,000 per annum for spare parts alone. However, maintenance costs were reduced to zero after replacing the bearings with NSK Molded-Oil deep groove ball bearings featuring DDU seals.

An average car wash in Germany cleans more than 110,000 cars every year. In terms of the drive components in the wash bars and heads, the application is equivalent to an endurance test with water and cleaning agent spray. The bearings in the rotary unions of the wash heads undergo the same treatment, and in this case, they were not up to the task.

American Falls’ mixer transformation gets wastewater sludge on the move

American Falls in Idaho is certainly no stranger to all things water. Almost a century ago, the entire town - nearly 350 residents and their homes, over 60 businesses, churches, schools, powerlines - and the entire railroad - had to move to make way for the American Falls Dam. *

Today, American Falls’ population of 4300 is served by a wastewater treatment center that is the envy of most small towns in the United States – a facility that in 2012 cost $15M to build.
