Changing to NSK Molded-Oil bearings reduces maintenance costs at a car wash

Changing to NSK Molded-Oil bearings reduces maintenance costs at a car wash

The operator of a car wash line in Germany repeatedly had to replace bearings in the rotary unions of the system’s wash heads, leading to costs of over €12,000 per annum for spare parts alone. However, maintenance costs were reduced to zero after replacing the bearings with NSK Molded-Oil deep groove ball bearings featuring DDU seals.

Machinery protection system meets demands of toughest audits for turbine upgrades

Machinery protection system meets demands of toughest audits for turbine upgrades

The ability to quickly identify issues affecting the performance of rotating plant as well as being able to optimise dynamic behaviour is vital to all plant engineers. Established and proven monitoring systems like the Sentry G3 machinery protection system from Sensonics combine the flexibility of hardware in a single, easy-to-install and easy-to-use module type for all sensors and so is a highly effective solution. The system is compliant to API 670 so meets the most stringent protection requirements, in addition to meeting IEC 61508 up to SIL-3 standards.
