INPRO/SEAL Announces Their VBXX-D, The Next Generation In Bearing Isolators That More Than Doubles Bearing Protection
ROCK ISLAND, IL, May 1, 2002 --- INPRO/SEAL Company has introduced their VBXX-D, the next generation in bearing isolators. Based on their highly successful VBX series, the VBXX-D combines extensive R & D, laboratory trials and field testing with direct end, user feedback. The end result is a bearing isolator with upgraded design features, advantages and benefits that provide levels of protection previously unavailable in any kind of bearing protection device. The VBXX-D is ideal for use in all kinds of rotating equipment, including: motors, machine tool spindles, gear boxes, blowers, turbines, fans, paper machine rolls, pumps and other types of rotating equipment. Once installed, end users obtain the latest and best non-contacting labyrinth sealing technology to improve plant uptime and reliability. According to David C. Orlowski, President of INPRO/SEAL, the holder of some 40 patents and considered by many as the "father" of bearing isolation technology, "Until the advent of our VBX(TM), end users had to contend with sealing methods that did not protect bearings. Contact seals, fibrous packing, flingers, lip seals, labyrinth seals and other devices simply did not keep out contaminants over time. Even other brands of isolators, due to their inherent design features or materials of construction, did not last". Orlowski continued, "Since we introduced our VBX(TM) twelve years ago, tens of thousands of end users have found (and proven) they can eliminate the root cause of premature equipment failure - contamination entering the bearing environment - and dramatically increase productivity and reliability in the process. Our VBXX-D takes bearing isolation to new levels of protection and increased productivity with an ROI that more than doubles previous results". With over one million installed and operating in process plants worldwide, INPRO/SEAL is the recognized global leader in bearing isolator technology. Inpro products are marketed to the petroleum, refining, nuclear, power generation, metalworking, food processing, grain processing, chemical, water, wastewater treatment, metalworking, automotive, hydrocarbon processing, HVAC, pulp and paper, mining, mineral, ore processing and general industrial markets.
