For a variety of reasons including food security and a desire to become independent of reliance on oil revenue, several nations in Africa and elsewhere (e.g. Azerbaijan) are working hard to increase agriculture production. However, their efforts are hampered by the fact that the traditional model for the provision equipment maintenance does not work for these countries. TractorExport's new model that features mobile mechanics and just in time parts inventory supply is changing the game for African farms. TractorExport will explain next about the new model and real-world impact.
The MRC PumPac® series of angular contact ball bearing arrangements from SKF integrate optimized internal designs and uniquely engineered contact angles to reduce operating temperatures and vibration while helping to prevent ball sliding and shuttling in demanding pump applications. These bearings ultimately can deliver ideal performance for centrifugal pumps and other systems typically subject to significant thrust loads while operating at relatively high speeds.
Poorly maintained equipment can leak more than fluids, it can leak money. Spectroline’s LeakTracker™ (LT-300) is a powerful, economical leak detection flashlight that’s ideal for all industrial fluid system applications.
