Industrial News: Addressing Vibration Challenges at the Cement Plant: Comprehensive Analysis and Solutions

We recently conducted a comprehensive visit to a cement plant to address ongoing vibration issues. The ball mill motor and gearbox have experienced several mechanical failures since the facility's inception . Here's a glimpse into the project:

Scope of Work:

- Conducted route-based vibration analysis on critical components.
- Captured motion amplification videos for detailed inspection.

Our Findings:

- Uncovered major vibration related to dynamic misalignment.
- Identified motor housing distortion under load.
- Previous ODS analyses highlighted mounting arrangement stiffness issues.

Our Recommendations:

- Precision align and grout the motor using high-quality machinery grout like Chockfast Red.
