Understanding Burden Feeders and Their Bearings
The Vital Role of Self-Lubricating Bronze Bearings in Burden Feeders for Direct Reduction Plants
Bronze bushings play a huge role in reducing friction.
Types of Bronze Bushings
In the high-demand environment of direct reduction plants, the efficiency and longevity of equipment are paramount. One key component in ensuring smooth operation and reduced maintenance costs is the use of self-lubricating bronze bearings. Particularly, the Graphite Plug Bronze Bearings made from Bronze Alloy have emerged as a frontrunner in this field. These bearings are specifically designed for different sections of burden feeders, namely the upper, middle, and lower burden feeder bearings. In this article, we delve into the unique features and benefits of these bearings in direct reduction plant applications.

Burden feeders play a crucial role in direct reduction plants. They are responsible for the controlled feeding of raw materials into the reduction furnace. The efficiency of these feeders directly impacts the plant’s overall productivity. Bearings in these feeders must withstand high loads, abrasive conditions, and fluctuating temperatures. This is where self-lubricating bronze bearings come into play.
Why Choose Alloy Bronze Graphite Plug Bronze Bearings?
Self-Lubrication: The main advantage of these bearings is their self-lubricating capability. With embedded graphite plugs, they gradually release lubricant, minimizing the need for regular manual maintenance and extending their lifespan.
High Load Capacity: Bronze alloy is renowned for its excellent load-bearing capacity, making it ideal for the heavy-duty operation of burden feeders, which face significant stress.
Resistance to Corrosion and Wear: These bearings demonstrate exceptional corrosion resistance, essential in the harsh environments of direct reduction plants. Furthermore, Bronze Alloy’s wear resistance enhances bearing longevity, ensuring reliable performance.
Tailored for Different Feeder Sections: Custom designs for the upper, middle, and lower burden feeder bearings optimize performance in each section, addressing the unique challenges of various feeder parts.
Upper burden feeder bearing
In direct reduction plants, a steady flow of raw materials is crucial. The upper burden feeder bearing, located at the top, manages the initial load.
Middle burden feeder bearing
The middle and lower bearings assist in guiding materials through the feeder.
Lower burden feeder bearing:
Self-lubricating bronze bearings in these sections promote a smoother, continuous material flow, thereby improving the plant’s overall efficiency.
