Innovation in the BRASFELT Bearing: Simplified Fixation and Cast Design for Greater Efficiency!

In our relentless pursuit of excellence, we are pleased to introduce innovation in the Main Bearing of the BRASFELT Vacuum Disc Filter, a key component in these equipment.

• OPTIMISED FIXING - Promotion of simplified maintenance:

Previously, the design of the BRASFELT bearing had a set welded with threads at the bottom base for fixing the upper saddle. However, due to the events of maintenance and replacement of bushings of the bearing, for which it was necessary to remove the screws, there was wear on the threads and locking the screws, scenario that eventually required complex interventions to perform new drilling in the field.

With our new solution for the BRASFELT bearing, we modify the design in favor of a simplified fastening with bolts and nuts. Now, simply remove the bottom nuts for complete screw extraction, facilitating the maintenance process and reducing equipment downtime.

• 100% FUSED DESIGN - Ergonomic Gains and Efficiency:

In the previous design, the bottom of our bearing was composed of a cast piece welded to a carbon steel cradle. This application of solder to the casting eventually resulted in unnecessary additional weight.

With the new solution adopted for the BRASFELT bearing, we replaced the lower assembly with a 100% cast piece, resulting in the elimination of the weld application and, consequently, reducing the weight of the assembly. In addition to reducing the weight of the set, which ensures better ergonomic conditions for maintenance, the new design promotes an optimized weight distribution, favoring the durability of the equipment.

These improvements reinforce our commitment to quality and continuous improvement of our products, ensuring a more agile and effective maintenance for our customers!
