BLM SERIES
BABBITT LINING MACHINES
Introduction
The BLM Series from Gautam Industries is designed for precision Babbitt (White Metal) lining of bearings and bushings used in heavy industrial applications. These machines ensure uniform lining thickness, strong metallurgical bonding, and controlled cooling for high-performance bearing components.
BLM Series – Machine Overview
The BLM platform supports manual, semi-automatic, and fully automated lining processes. It is suitable for single-side and dual-face Babbitt lining of large industrial bearings.
Typical Machine Configuration
- Heavy-duty base frame with precision alignment
- Rotary fixture for bearing/bush mounting
- Controlled Babbitt pouring system
- Pre-heating station for shell preparation
- Cooling and solidification control system
- PLC and HMI based operation (optional)
- Safety guarding and monitoring sensors
