Modernizations

State of the art backup rolls and oil film bearings

It makes sense to revamp and extend older mills so they can handle today’s challenging products. That ensures your long-term competitiveness.

Included in the critical components are the backup roll and bearing unit. To start with, we team up with you to determine the current status of your bearing system. Then we perform a thorough analysis. This is how we identify what optimizations will get the best out of your system. There is plenty of scope for practical improvements in areas such as safe handling of the bearings or better sealing systems. These can make all the difference.

That’s where our design ideas and systematic improvements come in. They cover all components – from the bearings and their chocks to the roll necks and oil lubrication systems. Our modernizations ensure your bearings achieve the high standards of occupational safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness to guarantee your success.
