A synthetic polymer producer was looking for unique technology that could work in their new production line. This line was going to run custom polymers and compounds. They needed one unit that could handle various materials and production rates. In addition, the customer previously had a competitor’s brute force spiral and was familiar with basic brute force technology, but unfamiliar with the capabilities of General Kinematics’ Two-Mass design - The spiral has worked perfectly, replacing the competitor’s brute force design. The maintenance department was happy that bearing L10 life is typically several hundred thousand hours, extending bearing life considerably. All lubrication is grease, remotely applied during operation, eliminating the maintenance associated with static oil splash.
