Focus on: Seals, Bearings & Lubrication Process, Controls & Plant Another factor driving demand is the growing industrial sector, particularly in countries such as China and India. As these countries continue to develop, the demand for energy-efficient furnaces will increase, as manufacturers seek to reduce costs and improve their efficiency further. Finally, technological advancements are also driving demand, with new materials and designs being developed to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions. Hightemperature bearings are just one example of this, with manufacturers investing in R&D to create new and innovative solutions. Benefits of investing Investing in high-temperature bearings offers a range of benefits for businesses. In addition to the obvious environmental benefits, they can also help to extend the life of the furnace, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. In addition, high-temperature bearings can improve overall safety and reliability, reducing the risk of equipment failure and accidents. This can have a significant impact on productivity and employee morale, as well as reducing the risk of costly lawsuits and damage to the company’s reputation. As countries strive to meet the climate goals set out by the Paris Agreement, industrial furnaces, being significant energy consumers, must become more energy efficient. Specialised high-temperature bearings are essential in this endeavour. These specialised bearings withstand extreme temperatures and harsh environments, reducing friction and wear. In doing so, they can help drive the transition towards more energy-efficient industrial furnaces and contribute towards a greener future.
