KIZEI® has been rigourously tested and shown to make a difference in quarry and cement applications, achieving twice the service lifetime.

Customer Benefits:

  • Optimized production output due to longer service life
  • Reduced maintenance costs
  • Easy to use

FIELD TESTS:

 

1. Less bearing deterioration with twice the service lifetime
After 2,200 hours of service on a quarry conveyor, it was found that the KIZEI® bearing, having worked for twice as long as the original open bearing, displayed far fewer contamination indentations. This proved that the metal shield was really doing its job.

2. Maximized profits
The second highly revealing test took place in the abrasive, dusty environment of a cement works. The company had recorded a $1,174,000 loss due to downtime caused by near-monthly replacement of the open bearing. When KIZEI® bearings were used, there were three times fewer shutdowns, and the cement works plant saved over $793,000 in the first year.
