Citi Bearings and Seals based in Vereeniging, one of SKF South Africa's leading Authorised Distributors, once again proved that SKF product quality and value is beyond dispute when one of South Africa's largest metal manufacturing plants placed a repeat order for SKF Planetary Roller Screws.
"The Tundish Car Screw Jack Application at the customer's Vanderbijl plant, can pose a high fire risk due to hydraulic fluids mixing with molten steel," explains Neil Logue, Sales Manager, Citi Bearings and Seals. "The application required an immediate solution for reducing the serious potential fire hazard and we recommended SKF Planetary Roller Screws for the Screw Jacks in order to eliminate the chances of fire in the application," remarks Logue.
This is Citi Bearings and Seals' second order for SKF roller screws from the metal manufacturer and Logue says that he has no doubt that the first order for SRC roller screws proved that the product delivered exceptional value to the customer's application.
Installation of SKF Planetary Roller Screws has largely eliminated fire hazards in the Tundish Car application and the metal manufacturing plant has recorded increased machine efficiency and reduced maintenance requirements. In addition, the customer reports that since implementation of the roller screws, the machines are maintaining reliable operating conditions. The SKF roller screws have also contributed to improved sustainability as there has been a significant reduction in utilisation of hydraulic fluids - a major to benefit to the environment.
"That this leading metal manufacturer once again selected Citi Bearings and Seals to supply SKF roller screws, is proof that SKF products are exceptionally well engineered and manufactured to deliver added value to diverse applications. We have also established an excellent relationship between SKF South Africa, Citi Bearings and Seals, and one of South Africa's main metal manufacturers. This latest order has also demonstrated that SKF supplies more than bearings components - the company's core technologies, which includes mechatronics, bearings, power transmission, lubrication and seals, deliver turn- key solutions to industry across the spectrum," concludes Vikesh Harikaran, SKF's Business Development Manager - Mechatronics.
