Extra Large Wear Plates from Vesconite
Vesconite Bearings is expanding its manufacturing capabilities to meet the increasing demand for larger low-friction wear plates.
Gallagher Fluid Seals' partner, Vesconite Bearings, is making a substantial investment in additional equipment to produce wear plates of unprecedented sizes, notes CEO Dr Jean-Patrick Leger.
The company aims to introduce 8 x 4 ft wear plates within the next year.
Vesconite has been responding to customer requirements for different plates for many years, and wear plates is no exception.
Customers have expressed a need for longer, thicker, and wider wear plates to reduce wear in their applications and to enhance equipment lifespan.
In response, Vesconite Bearings has already extended its product range to include wear plates up to 20 ft in length, 6 inches in thickness, and widths of 24 inches and 39 inches.
Additionally, Vesconite Bearings can bend plates as needed, providing customers with a diverse range of shapes tailored to their specific requirements.
“We are excited to make this additional strategic investment in response to the evolving needs of our clients,” says Leger. “The expansion of Vesconite Bearings’ product range reflects the company’s commitment to innovation and meeting the unique demands of various industries.”
