PBC Linear has recently implemented a new, custom made sensor bearing into large paper plant dryers. Previously using Babbitt bearings, the paper plant was experiencing constant downtime, using an immense amount of energy, and reporting loss of product, and profits. After changing these older bearings out, the paper company began to experience immediate benefits. Enhanced product life, mass energy savings, increased profits, and sensors that alert staff when preventative maintenance is required are all reaped rewards of the newly installed PBC Linear sensor bearing.
The original Babbitt bearings installed into the paper dryers were only functioning for a short period of time before they needed to be changed out and replaced. This is mostly due to the immense force required to start-up the paper drying process. In the beginning start up stages, the cast iron dryers are running against the Babbitt bearings which are typically comprised of bronze, tin, or lead. This extremely pressurized metal to metal contact creates a large amount of friction and results in incredible wear on the Babbitt bearings
