CASE HISTORY THREE
Field Service saves a ball mill just in time, and saves millions of dollars in avoidable repairs.
Are you prepared to trade months of lost production for just 3 days of downtime? This is exactly what happened to a major cement factory and we are proud to have made it possible thanks to timely inspections which revealed a critical situation in the ball mill.
We can never stress the importance of regular inspections enough.
Thanks to our trained team of gearing experts out in the field, we recently saved a cement company from the dramatic consequences of a bearing failure at their ball mill.
Within weeks that bearing would have failed causing massive damage to the gears as well as to other equipment. The cost of replacing the gears alone, combined with the loss in production, would have amounted to millions of dollars, and it is realistic to assume gear drive replacement would have taken up to a year.
In just 3 days on site at the cement works, we helped strip the equipment down, replaced the bearing, completely reassembled the gearing and ensured correct installation so that production could re-start with a minimal loss and limited repair costs.
THE BENEFITS AT A GLANCE:
3 DAYS ON-SITE MAINTENANCE
vs. irreparable damage to gearing andmany months of downtime awaiting replacement gears
A FRACTION OF COSTS TO REPLACE BEARING
vs. millions of dollars lost if a breakdown had occurred
MINIMAL PRODUCTION LOSS
vs. severe impact on cement production if the gearing had been damaged just weeks later
