Brammer Buck & Hickman, the UK’s leading supplier of industrial maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) products and services, has released two new brochures, produced with bearing manufacturer SKF, aimed at the construction and aggregates industries. The new brochures address the specific challenges faced in these demanding sectors, along with SKF product solutions and advice on bearings best practice.
Across all industries, bearings are one of the most often replaced components, but in construction and aggregates all the more so due to the exceptionally harsh operating conditions. Here, bearings face multiple challenges, from ingress of dirt and dust, through to very heavy loads and frequently working in extreme temperatures. Selecting the correct bearing is therefore essential to ensure reliable, long life.
‘SKF Bearing Solutions for Construction & Aggregates’ is a 12 page brochure highlighting SKF products that have been designed to operate in construction and aggregates sites. These include SKF Explorer Spherical Roller Bearings, SKF Explorer Cylindrical and CARB Toroidal Roller Bearings and the SKF Three-Barrier Solution which protects the bearing from contaminants, leading to extended bearing service life on average three times longer than standard open bearings. The brochure looks at the key attributes of these – and many more – bearing units and how they could benefit customers’ processes.
The second brochure – ‘Are Your Bearings Tough Enough?’ – addresses the top four challenges faced by bearings in construction and aggregates applications. An informative guide, it looks at the challenges posed by the harsh operating conditions, the often-remote locations of these sites, health & safety, and sustainability. Just as importantly, it provides guidance on how to meet those challenges.
These two new brochures can be downloaded from Brammer Buck & Hickman’s SKF bearings section on its website – uk.rubix.com/supplier/skf/constructionandaggregates. This new addition to the website not only provides useful information on SKF’s product ranges, but also has sections dedicated to industry specific solutions, including a construction and aggregates industry page.
