Air handling equipment operates under challenging conditions – heat, dust, corrosive vapours and wash-down exposure all shorten fan and blower life. Premature bearing failure is the result of lubrication loss or contamination, shaft misalignment or excess vibration. It causes unscheduled downtime, production losses and costly emergency repairs; and accessing the equipment can be difficult and dangerous.
SKF’s comprehensive, cost-effective fan and blower solutions, which include bearing, seal, lubrication, alignment and reliability solutions, reduce the chance of premature failure. SKF specialised bearings and seals tolerate harsh operating conditions, while its lubrication systems and shaft/belt alignment tools contribute to improved service life of the fan. Condition monitoring services and equipment for identifying failures before they become catastrophic are also available.
SKF’s bearing and seal solutions include ball and roller bearing mounted units; ConCentra bearing units, Carb bearings, Explorer bearings, fan wheel hub bushings, split housing units, contact seals; flinger seals; and labyrinth seals. Lubrication solutions include specialised SKF lubricants, multipoint lubricators and System 24 with 24/7 lubricators. Alignment solutions include laser shaft alignment tools, as well as Laser belt alignment tools. Reliability solutions offer portable data collectors, on-line data collection systems, failure analysis as well as machine balancing.
As drop-in replacements or as part of an integrated maintenance system, SKF fan and blower solutions extend mean time between failures (MTBF), reduce unplanned downtime, reduce maintenance and repair costs, enhance plant safety and increase productivity.
