Technology & Products
Key Products
Tilting pad bearings; Horizontal bearings; Complete bearing pedestals for gas/steam turbines; Bearing and sealing systems for hydro turbines; Bearings for cement mills, gearboxes, marine diesel engines, rolling mills; White metal (babbitt) centrifugal casting; Component rehabilitation and repair via DED; PEEK-lined bearing pads
Technological Advantage
Proprietary centrifugal casting machines (EUB1/EUB2) designed in-house; patented PEEK anchoring system for hydrodynamic bearing pads (EP4226060B1); Meltio Engine Robot Integration with KUKA robot on mobile gantry for unlimited build envelope; ISO 9001:2015 certified; collaboration with Politecnico di Milano for R&D
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Design, manufacture, and rehabilitation of custom white metal sliding bearings for large rotating machinery, combining traditional centrifugal casting expertise with wire-laser Directed Energy Deposition (DED) additive manufacturing to reduce lead times by 30-50% and material waste by up to 80%.
How They Differentiate
Nearly 30 years of specialized white metal bearing expertise combined with early adoption of robotic wire-laser DED (Meltio Engine Robot Integration) for large-scale component manufacturing and repair — enabling lead time reductions of 30-50%, material waste reduction up to 80-90%, and in-situ rehabilitation of high-value components that would otherwise be scrapped.
