Stelex Construction Equipment, manufacturer of the Hercules range of trommels, has standardised on Baldor-Dodge Imperial ISN mounted spherical roller bearings for its new HT182M road-going trommel. In fact, Stelex sold two machines during the course of Hillhead 2010, to customers from Australia and the USA.
One of the major features of the new stone cleaning and sizing machine is deployment flexibility, thanks to the design's incorporation of a low loader trailer. In addition, one of Stelex's key design parameters for the new trommel was ease of on-site maintenance. The company therefore chose to standardise on Dodge Imperial ISN bearings for all of the machine's main rotational load-bearing parts. These bearings use a patented thin wall push-pull adapter system which can be either metric or imperial sizes and achieves clearance setting without the use of feeler gauges; the bearing can be installed or uninstalled simply by turning a locknut clockwise or anticlockwise.
According to Stelex's managing director, Richard Evans, "Every Dodge Imperial ISN bearing does what it says on the box
