It’s been five years since they replaced their conventional plummer block bearings, which were changed every three months, with COC bearings. Even after five years, our bearings are still running smoothly, and they want to continue using them. Their maintenance consists of just monthly lubrication.

And these cost savings are expected to continue going forward.
