Bearings International (BI) has teamed up with Twinsaver, to not only ensure the seamless operation of Twinsaver’s production lines but to drive innovation, reliability and efficiency in the process. This collaboration, which kicked off in May 2024, sees BI supplying a range of cutting-edge electric motors, drives, gearboxes, as well as premium FAG & INA bearings and components to Twinsaver’s manufacturing facilities across South Africa, including key locations in Vereeniging, Pretoria and Cape Town.
The carefully-selected products, ranging from ABB and Alpha motors to IMAK & Bauer gearboxes, are tailored to meet the rigorous demands of tissue production, ensuring Twinsaver’s operations run seamlessly. Christian Chipamaunga, General Manager – End User Markets at BI, notes that the FAG & INA bearings are particularly suited for the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector, offering corrosion resistance, dependability and long service life.
Essential components
“These bearings are vital across various stages of Twinsaver’s tissue manufacturing process, from mixing and coating to packaging and conveyor systems. Our products are at the heart of the client’s production processes,” he elaborates. “Whether it’s torque transfer in couplings and chain belts, or precision in slitting and packing, our solutions are designed to enhance productivity and maintain the high standards Twinsaver is renowned for.”
BI has already delivered a range of essential components to the client since the launch of the one-year renewable partnership. The strategic alignment of both companies ensures that Twinsaver’s production lines stay in motion, maximising performance and reducing any potential disruptions.
“We’re very proud of our partnership” Christian concludes, “Their confidence in our capabilities reflects our shared vision of operational excellence. We look forward to many more years of collaboration; advancing together through progress and innovation.”
