Brammer has recently presented awards recognising how the MRO expertise and knowledge delivers significant cost savings and production efficiency improvements to customers in the MRO marketplace

The UK's leading distributor of industrial maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) products presented a specific award to Nestle and NSK: Water ingress on one of the Nestle sweet conveyors was causing crystallisation of sugar on the equipment, with the subsequent result being frequent breakdowns as the machine became clogged up; a loss of production and increasing frequency of required maintenance intervals At NSK, further to a comprehensive site evaluation, and presentations to the customer, moulded oil bearings inserts in stainless steel housings were specified

The moulded oil acts as a barrier to ingress of sugar and water and with superior lubrication and requires no wash out.

Managing director Ian Ritchie said: "This is a wonderful example of innovation in production.

Over one year later, the bearings are still working perfectly with no breakdowns - a truly maintenance free solution that has saved a six figure sum for the customer in lost production and maintenance costs, whilst also ensuring several million chocolate bars have reached the shops".
