The
Manufacturer
Zorhat Alloys Pvt. Ltd., started in 1960, is engaged not
only in manufacturing Superior and Economical Non-Ferrous
Anti-friction Bush & Bush Bearings alloys and their components
but is also engaged in the manufacture of various Non-Ferrous alloys
and their components. Located at the periphery of Baroda, the
Industrial Capital of Gujarat.
Zorhat Alloys is situated
on a developed environment friendly, lush green, tree lined estate,
measuring 10 Lac sq. ft. The working environment is both healthy and
invigorating. Spacious sheds, totaling over 18,000 sq. ft. of floor
area have been allocated to the development and production
activities, that include a modern foundry and a well equipped
machine shop with all modern testing and measuring equipments and
facilities.
Growth of Bushes and Bush
Bearings
The 18th
Century Industrial Revolution made a remarkable progress in Bearing
Technology not only in the theoretical aspects but in practical
aspects also. A lot of Research & Development has been done in this
area ever since.
The 19th
Century saw the invention of Babbit Metal Alloy by Issac Babbit in
United Kingdom, while a sintered, oil containing Bearing was invented
in The United States.
Coming to the
20th century, progress in the plain Bearing field has
continuously been made including practical use of composite materials
and solid lubricants. More new materials are expected to be developed
in this century.
ZA-27
metal alloy has better Physical and Mechanical properties than all
conventional bronzes, and has revolutionized the Bush and Bush Bearing
industry not only in terms of technical superiority but also an
economical replacement.
In 1992 Zorhat
Alloys added it’s first page to OilLess history, by further developing
ZA-27 to combine with Graphite now better known as Grade ZA#1000. The
combination results out of Embedded graphite into the walls of
material. These special ZA-27 Graphite Embedded Bearings have @20-25%
Graphite and work best in applications where the working temperatures
are normal.
Since then
Zorhat Alloys have been making constant progress in developing the
OilLess series of Bushes and Bush Bearings in various base alloys for
the Industry.
After being approached by
Fuller India Ltd, (A Member of the F.L.Smidth-Fuller Engineering
Group, USA.) seeking a solution for import substitution, Zorhat Alloys
successfully combined ZA-27 with graphite inserts, which was a unique
development in it’s own accord.
1997-1998 saw
the 100% indigenous development of special Bushes and Bush Bearings
wherein a combination of a special Copper based alloy, with better
hardness and solid lubricants was used, Grade ZA#500. These special
Bearings were developed for M/S TELCO Ltd, Pune India for their
special machineries, designed by their Growth Shop again in the line
of Import Substitution.
OilLess Bearings
are self-lubricating Bearings prepared for heavy load application
under Low/High speed operating conditions. According to the
application in industrial field, wide range of OilLess Bearings are
being manufactured by Zorhat Alloys, from 100 grams to 1 metric tonne
single piece weight and diameters up to 1000mm.
Zorhat Alloys have
for many years been well known in the market for outstanding quality
and performance of their bushes. The reports from various clients
proudly provide testimony to this fact.
