Overview
1.Lower film draft
Advantages:
No lubricants at the products
Maintenance-free
Wear-resistant solution in spite of cleaning process
Dirt accumulation
2. Preheating and molding station
Advantages:
Fastest demounting of bearing
Cost advantage
Cleaning with hydrogen peroxide possible
Dirt accumulation possible
3. Cup filling unit
Advantages:
Cleaning with hydrogen peroxide
Recirculating ball bearing is no alternative (cleaning)
Cost saving
Combination with soft
stainless steels possible
maintenance-free
Wear-resistant solution in spite of cleaning process
4. Inline labelling machine
Advantages:
No washing-out of the lubrication
No corrosion of the ball (soft stainless steel ball instead of hardened ball)
Lower adhesion factor, than bush bearing
Resistant against chemicals
5. Sealing unit
Advantages:
Cost advantage
Easy to install through split bearing housing
No rinsing of the recirculating ball bearings
Good corrosion-resistance
6. Cutting station (crosswise/lengthwise)
Advantages:
Vibrations during punching have no influence on the shaft
For this reason: No shake down of the shaft
Cost saving
Combination with soft stainless steel shafts
Maintenance-free
No impact from dirt accumulation through punching waste

More application examples
Packaging machines
The iglidur® G plain bearings distinguish themselves by their wear resistance and the suitability for real dry operation in this packaging machine for polishing cloth.
Filling and sealing machine
Besides the high chemical resistance, the iglidur® J plain bearings offer a maintenance-free dry operation in this application.
Forming, filling and sealing machine
DryLin® high temperature bearings are used in the tool guide system of this forming, filling and sealing machine.
Automatic cup supply system for cup filling line
No lubricants in food sector
Horizontal forming, filling and sealing machines
On these horizontal forming, filling and sealing machines, the total freedom from maintenance over the machines' entire life cycle was particularly important for the customer.
