    20 tons of lubrication and grease used worldwide every year just to keep bottling line conveyor belts running—just imagine the cost and environmental impact! Heineken faced this exact challenge at their production lines in Brazil, where up to 600 bearing points required weekly maintenance—over 30 hours of unnecessary work every week! They turned to us for a solution, and we delivered: igubal® Spherical Insert Bearings for UC housings. Here’s why switching to igus® makes sense: ✔️ Reduced Maintenance Costs: Drastically cut down on manpower and grease expenses. ✔️ Extended Service Life: Predictable, long-lasting performance with a low-cost, drop-in solution. ✔️Environmental Impact: Save the environment from hundreds of pounds of grease annually—at just one plant!
