Seals boost food production safey
SKF Economos' new seals can be quickly and simply found with standard metal detection equipment should any small pieces fall into the product being processed.
The new handheld unit has been specifically developed solely for field collection of data and route based analysis, including vibration signals and process variables and bearing assessments, incorporating such features as a large colour display and automatic optimum data acquisition settings, which make the unit refreshingly simple to use.
Due to its modular design, the GX-E can easily and cost effectively be upgraded as the asset monitoring needs of a plant and the technical requirements of its engineers evolve.
Accompanying software helps form a complete condition monitoring system, which allows engineers to carry out detailed analysis of the data collected in the field, and to produce comprehensive reports easily.
Following the success of Maintec 2006, which attracted over 2000 maintenance and asset management professionals, the 2007 exhibition at Birmingham NEC from 20th to 22nd of March will provide the ideal environment at which to launch the GX-E.
SKF will also be exhibiting its FixtureLaser laser alignment system, which enables maintenance engineers to align rotating shafts and machinery simply and accurately, and its Vogel System 24 centralised lubrication system, developed to automate the lubrication of machinery, ensuring that components receive the correct amount of lubricant at the right time to maximise performance and reduce maintenance requirements.
SKF Asset Management Services is now a major part of the global company, in keeping with its strategy of offering knowledge-based service solutions developed to optimise plant asset efficiency and reliability. Request a free brochure from SKF UK ...
