SKF’s fan upgrade solutions offers a “systems approach” to fan maintenance and reliability that will help industrial facilities increase fan performance while decreasing maintenance and downtime. Furthermore, fans that are optimally installed, balanced and aligned will consume less energy, which over the lifetime of the fan can be quite considerable.
As the only complete, single-source provider of industrial fan upgrades and services, SKF can help customers to avoid the capital expense of replacing underperforming fans and blowers. SKF fan upgrade solutions can reduce downtime in hot gas and process fans and boost performance for fans used in many industries and applications, including cement, steel, glass, paper, food and beverage, agriculture, and many others.
SKF fan upgrade solutions include unique bearing arrangements and seals, lubrication solutions from specialized lubricants to advanced circulating oil lubrication systems, and services from basic condition monitoring to advanced maintenance reliability programs.
“The vast majority of bearing failures are attributable to contamination, lubrication, or mounting issues. As an expert in all of these areas, SKF is uniquely positioned to provide the world’s most comprehensive, fully integrated fan bearing solution,” said Hans Lindh SKF business leader; Industrial Fans. “Thanks to our recent acquisitions of lubrication specialists Willy Vogel AG and Safematic Lubrication Systems, the SKF fan bearing solution now features the world’s most advanced centralized and automatic oil lubrication systems and technologies.”
While SKF fan upgrade solutions will vary with a facility’s requirements and goals, typically they will address heat- and vibration-related operating issues, and will employ some combination of self-aligning bearings, advanced plummer (pillow) block housings, automatic lubrication systems, and related maintenance and reliability services.
