GRAPHALLOY block bushings provide solutions for submerged applications. They are used primarily in the textile finishing industry in dye and bleach ranges, wash boxes and dye jigs to replace cast iron, plastic or stainless steel bushing

GRAPHALLOY bushings and case rings can improve the reliability and efficiency of your pumps. In horizontal and vertical pumps, non-galling GRAPHALLOY does not seize or gall if run dry or with marginal lubrication. The GRAPHALLOY fitted pump is able to survive upsets, dry running, loss of suction, slow roll on standby and other transient conditions that would damage a conventionally fitted pump. Plastics may enable a pump to run dry briefly without a catastrophic crash, but generally a rebuild of the pump will be required, including replacement of the thermoplastic parts. GRAPHALLOY enables the pump to run dry and survive - restart or continue operating often without loss of performance or the need to replace the GRAPHALLOY parts. GRAPHALLOY self lubricating bushings and bearings Pumping low lubricity fluids, hydrocarbons, liquid gases, or hot water can be especially difficult for a metal-on-metal pump; GRAPHALLOY solves the problem. Using GRAPHALLOY also allows closer clearances often gaining efficiency improvements, reduced vibration and reduced NPSH requirements. GRAPHALLOY provides design freedom, improves pump efficiency and improves reliability.

As with all GRAPHALLOY bushings, these split double flanged bushings will survive harsh environments. They are commonly used in screw or spiral conveyors or feeders to move a large variety of bulk materials. They are also used in batch mixers and in agitators. Since GRAPHALLOY never equires lubrication, the conveyed product is not contaminated and does not collect in the bearing.

GRAPHALLOY high temperature bushings are self-lubricating and do not contain oil. They provide long life in high temperature applications such as industrial ovens, conveyors and overhead paint lines. Standard sizes will fit common overhead paint line conveyors used in high temperature drying ovens.
