"The RugRevolution Bearing Design
I Had To Throw Away"
It all
started the moment the phone rang at
5am in the morning.
That's when I discovered my business
had narrowly escaped being crushed
by a horrendous catastrophe.
You see, my engineer called (before
it was too late!) to let me
know that the design path we chose
for the RugRevolution centrifuge
wringer would almost be like dancing with
the devil. No matter how much we
thought we got things covered, we
would lose in the end.
My engineer uncovered a design flaw
with such Titanic consequences
it gave him nightmares that
constantly
drenched him in an icy-cold sweat.
Why Bad Centrifuge Bearings Designs
Are Like Some Tires Made By Firestone
If you don't start with a good
design, you'll end up with a product
that can not only fail, but even
injure or worse - kill.
Just ask any of these US companies:
Bridgestone/Firestone recalled
of 3.85 million RADIAL ATX and
RADIAL ATX II Tires because when
they become under inflated these
radial tires generate excessive
heat, which can lead to tread
separation.*
Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc., of
Towson, Md. recalled 202,000
electric trimmers/edgers due to
a potential for laceration
from projectiles.*
Brave Products Inc., of
Streator, Illinois have recalled
their hydraulic log splitters
after reports of leaking
cylinders and/or rod retention
failure - one involving a
hand amputation possibly
caused by the defective log
splitter.*
Eastern Illini Electric
Cooperative junction boxes used
with water heaters have been
recalled due to a potential
fire hazard.*
Toshiba America
Information Systems recalled
about 1,400 laptop computers
because the lithium-ion laptop
batteries (made by Sony Energy
Devices Corp., of Japan) pose a
fire hazard to
computer users.*

Now you know why my engineer broke
out in a cold sweat. A bad bearing
design, running at high rpm's has
the potential to do a lot worse than
break down. A lot worse.
That's why we changed designs and created this video. Just watch and you'll
discover...
Why the RugRevolution has the
best bearing design on the
planet.
How the world's foremost bearing
engineering firm became involved
with the design the RugRevolution's bearing.
Why it's
crucial to have an
Engineer place their signature
on a design they create or
approve.
What bearing designs the
Europeans have used for years on
their rug centrifuges.
How you can easily handle the
massive loads, high RPMs and
destructive vibrations of a

A Real Life Example Why This
Centrifuge Design Is One To Run Away
From
This video shows you exactly why
RugBadger.com rejected this design
for it's RugRevolution Centrifuge as
part of it's area rug cleaning
equipment lineup.
In the summer of 2008, Dusty
visited a 140 year old rug cleaning
plant in Zurich, Switzerland. It was
an impressive operation but one
thing stood out above all else - the
centrifuge they had was based on a
design Dusty rejected.

the Plant Manager talk about the
problems they have with their
machine.
