SKF Cement and Mining: solid solutions

The world of cement and mining puts huge stress and strain on all the machinery involved, and costly downtime can easily occur if bearings and other equipment aren’t maintained SKF’s broad suite of products and services can help make sure you’re operational for as long as possible. SKF solutions help you keep up machine availability to meet shipping volumes, while balancing maintenance needs with staff availability and mitigating other cost drivers, like energy and CO₂ taxes.

Helping solve the big vibration screen challenges in cements and aggregate plants

Vibration screen operations and performance can positively or negatively affect plant efficiency, productivity and profitability. The SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings (VA405) support greater vibratory loads and run with the lowest possible internal friction leading to less internal wear and lower temperatures. The bearing lasts longer than other screen bearings and requires less frequent relubrication, saving cost and stabilizing production.

The SKF Explorer spherical roller bearing (VA405) for vibratory applications is designed to help cement and aggregates managers solve their biggest and potentially most expensive challenges. Downtime. Output. Safety. Maintenance.

The SKF Three-barrier solution against contaminants: Reduce grease consumption and cost

For conveyor bearings in harsh environments, the SKF Three-barrier solution delivers the highest level of protection against contaminants. The solution combines a sealed SKF Explorer spherical roller bearing, a sealed SKF housing and a grease barrier in between.

- Extend conveyor uptime with up to 300% longer bearing life
- Save cost and CO2 with 90% less grease consumption
- Reduce maintenance cost with 3X longer between pulley bearing failures
- Balance maintenance needs with staff availability
- Improve safety

SKF gives you the option to choose between contact seals, labyrinth or taconite seals. This lets you customise the level of contamination resistance you need. The Three-barrier solution extends pulley bearing life, increases worker safety, reduces maintenance costs and reduces your environmental impact.  Discover the SKF Three-barrier solution for your conveyor performance challenge.
