At B2K, we take pride in providing high-quality, durable solutions that tackle various industries’ most demanding operational challenges. One standout success story comes from our partnership with a significant player in the paper and pulp industry, where we solved a persistent issue of bearing failure at their effluent plant.

The Challenge: Frequent Bearing Failures

Our customer faced a significant problem: the bearings on their belt filter press—a critical component for separating sludge from water—failed every four to six weeks. 

This was largely due to water leaking into the system, resulting in costly downtime, frequent maintenance, and skyrocketing operational expenses.

Standard bearings simply couldn’t withstand the harsh conditions in an environment where sludge and water are constantly handled. Our customer needed a robust solution to keep their operations running smoothly.

The B2K Solution: COC Unitised Spherical Roller Bearing Units 

B2K rose to the challenge by installing COC bearings, engineered explicitly with advanced sealing technology to combat water ingress and contaminants in harsh industrial settings. This innovative solution ensured the bearings remained protected, significantly extending their lifespan.

Remarkable Results: A New Standard

The results have been outstanding since the installation of COC bearings in November 2023. These bearings have operated flawlessly for 11 months, far surpassing the lifespan of their predecessors.

The positive impact has been so substantial that our customer has now ordered COC bearings to replace all similar components in their plant. By switching to B2K’s solutions, they have dramatically reduced downtime and maintenance costs while enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Why Partner with B2K?

This success story illustrates the value of collaborating with B2K to overcome operational hurdles. Our products, like the COC bearings, are built for longevity and reliability, even in the most demanding environments.
