MISSION PROFILE: SUSTAINABILITY

Eliminating Grease.
Protecting Water.

Traditional bronze bushings required tons of grease annually, much of which ended up in the Columbia River. Fritex **FW-Series** composites replaced these legacy bearings, operating completely dry or water-lubricated.

The result was total elimination of lubricant pollution and an extension of maintenance intervals from 5 years to over 25 years.
