Tom Fowler, Business Development Manager of ACORN’s specialist Couplings and Drives division, explains how SKF OK couplings could help save you money.
As so many applications are dependent on roller chain, it is vital that service life is optimised to prevent unnecessary downtime and costs to the business.
Discover five practical maintenance strategies that help food and beverage manufacturers improve reliability, protect hygiene standards and reduce unplanned downtime.
Choosing the optimum method for fitting a bearing and avoiding some of the less conventional approaches such as naked flames or brute force, can help to prevent premature bearing failure. How are the best ways to fit your bearings?
Machine breakdowns often happen unexpectedly, causing costly unplanned downtime. By identifying mistakes that could cost your business when it comes to your Couplings, you'll be best equipped to avoid them.
The RotaLube® Inaccessible Chain Lubrication Kit enables engineers to lubricate chain safely & effectively whilst machinery is in operation, without the need to remove guards.
36% of bearing failures are due to poor lubrication practices, something that can be difficult to to maintain in the harsh environment of the food & beverage industry.
Whatever industry you work in, downtime is a major obstacle. From loss of production to repair bills, the cost of downtime can be huge.
The choice of coupling to connects an electric motor with a mixer's paddle or impellor is critical to the successful operation of the machinery.
Improving the efficiency of your electric motor can reduce the likelihood of machine failure, extend component lifespan and help to reduce energy consumption.
Poor bearing fitting practices are responsible for around 16% of premature bearing failures, so it’s easy to see why the choice of method for bearing mounting is so important.
There are many possible reasons why your bearing has failed, but the only true way of finding out the cause is by performing root cause analysis.
Condition monitoring is often talked about when looking at how to extend the life of machinery, but how does it work? And how effective can it really be?
When it comes to downtime in fans, there is no tolerance. A breakdown could cause anything from unpleasant working conditions to a complete halt in production. But what is the solution?
From costly downtime to catastrophic machine failure: everyone knows the potential consequences of premature bearing failure. At ACORN, we want to help you avoid this.
Bearing seals are perhaps one of the most underrated components on any machine. They perform the essential role of guarding against contamination whilst keeping hold of the lubricant. When a seal fails, it is often quickly followed by bearing failure: a costly consequence.
We’ve put together our top tips to help you to succeed in prioritising food safety on your production line, without compromising on what is important to your business.
