Wastewater Treatment
To keep the pumps, drives and valves in a wastewater treatment plant working efficiently 24/7 requires bearings and chain of the highest standard. Whether they are chrome, stainless steel or engineered thermoplastic components.Common Bearings Used in the Wastewater Treatment Industry
In the wastewater treatment industry, plant equipment often requires high-quality bearings to achieve and maintain effective and efficient operation. The components can be made in a variety of designs and from various materials to suit different application requirements and restrictions. Some of the most commonly used types are those that can accommodate numerous machines and process steps, such as:- Ceramic and Stainless Steel bearings: Ceramic and Stainless Steel bearings have several characteristics that make them ideal for use in wastewater treatment operations. For example, they are not susceptible to corrosion and do not require lubrication.
- Craft split roller pillow block bearings: Craft split roller pillow block bearings offer similar advantages to traditional bearings but with easier assembly requirements. Their two-half design facilitates installation, inspection, and replacement operations since it does not require the removal or disruption of other assembly elements.
Typical Applications of Bearings in the Wastewater Treatment Industry
Bearings are employed in many applications throughout the wastewater treatment industry. For example, bearings from Emerson Bearings are typically used in the following fluid handling devices and systems:- Pumps
- Drives
- Valves
- Flowmeters
- Hydraulic equipment
