With a long history dating back in 1885, today A/S Bryggeriet Vestfyen is Denmark’s fourth largest brewery. It produces many liters of beer and soft drinks on a daily basis, for Danish consumers as well as an increasing export
market.

The bearings rotating the filler heads
of the capping machine run under the
most difficult of environments. They are
submitted to continuous accelerations
due to the function of the machine.
Furthermore they are drenched in the
sugary products and washed down with
aggressive cleaning agents daily.

CeramicSpeed Corrotec bearings
are made from stainless steel rings,
premium-quality ceramic balls, sealed
and lubricated for life with a dedicated
food-grade lubricant. In other words, the
CeramicSpeed bearings are customized
exactly for this machine and this
customer.

The physical properties of the ceramic
balls make them interact with the
bearing rings in an optimum way. They
are 2.3 times harder than steel balls and
extremely resistant to any otherwise
corrosive media.

After changing to CeramicSpeed, the bearings life has been increased more
than 4 times - and they are still running
without any problems.

A/S Bryggeriet Vestfyen has therefore
reduced its downtime as well as
maintenance costs.
