# Water, Cement Slurry, and Dust Accelerate Bearing Wear and Corrosion

## Water, Cement Slurry, and Dust Accelerate Bearing Wear and Corrosion

When operating a concrete mixer, bearings are exposed to water, cement slurry, and dust. These contaminants penetrate the bearings, causing abrasive wear, corrosion, and lubricant degradation.

## Sources of Contamination

- Water for drum washing
- Cement slurry
- Cement and sand dust
- Lubricant degradation products

## Solutions

Bearings with enhanced seals and corrosion-resistant coatings are used. Bearings with water-repellent lubricants are employed. It is recommended to use relubricatable bearings.
