Rubber industry machines rely heavily on gearboxes or gear reducers for drive. These units use available torque from the drive motor to convert available torque into power needed to mix and push out product.
Wikov’s gearbox condition monitoring system, WiGuard, offers 24/7 monitoring and advanced maintenance planning capabilities to prevent unexpected shutdown reductions.
Rubber Manufacturing Gearbox Repairs
Gearboxes play an integral role in the rubber industry power train. Driven machines place significant demands on their power trains in terms of unpredictable loads and possible overloads, as well as ensuring long term reliability with minimal operational and maintenance costs. Gearboxes must meet this challenge to remain effective components in this environment.
An effective spare parts program can help meet these demands. A well-managed plan will reduce unscheduled shutdowns and downtime while simultaneously lowering total cost of ownership and prolonging equipment lifespan.
When it comes to repairs in your shop, you want it done correctly the first time around. That is why selecting only reputable repair specialists from within your locality is key for timely gearbox repair work. These businesses possess both skills and experience that will get it up and running again quickly.
Rubber Manufacturing Gearbox Services
Gearboxes are a common type of speed reducer used across a variety of applications, from automobiles where they reduce engine power output to industrial manufacturing equipment and marine vessels for controlling engine-driven ship speeds.
Though there are various kinds of gearboxes, parallel shaft designs remain the most widely used option. But this design is becoming less popular as manufacturers shift to planetary gearboxes which are smaller and more efficient; furthermore they provide improved lubrication systems which contribute to longer tooth durability and higher torque – two factors making them popular choices among rubber producers.
Rubber Manufacturing Gearbox Rebuilding
Gears are essential components in many industries, and an effective spare parts program can increase productivity by quickly performing critical repairs. By having access to replacement parts that meet customer demands quickly, operations can continue uninterrupted while meeting customer satisfaction goals.
As well as increasing performance, pressure to prevent unexpected shutdowns is always mounting; consequently, equipment condition monitoring systems have become an invaluable asset in modern organizations.
Wikov has a rich heritage of producing gears not just for rubber products, but for all market segments. Their wide range of diversification allows them to transfer knowledge and technology between sectors. Their planetary gears with flexible pin offer significant improvements over traditional parallel shaft designs in terms of weight, space and electrical energy savings.
Rubber Manufacturing Gearbox Refurbishment
Gearboxes can be found in many applications. They can help increase performance and productivity while decreasing unplanned downtime, but gearboxes are subject to wear and tear over time; in order to keep them operating efficiently they must be regularly inspected and serviced.
Rubber Manufacturing utilizes gearboxes known as speed reducers as critical pieces of equipment in its extrusion process, which involves forcing material through dies into sheets or strips. A malfunctioning gearbox could greatly impair production and profitability; so it is imperative that it is repaired promptly.
Traditional parallel shaft gearboxes can be replaced by planetary gears for significant space and weight savings. Furthermore, Orbi-fleX flexible pin planetary gears offer higher reliability in handling overload situations.
Rubber Manufacturing Gearbox Reconditioning
Gearboxes are at the core of many industrial applications and, while often reliable, are susceptible to failure under extreme loads and environmental stresses. A single gear failure could stop production for days. Conducting regular inspections of your gearbox will help identify and address any potential problems before they cause major damage.
Maintaining an inventory of spare parts helps businesses avoid costly downtime. A well-managed spare parts management program also saves money over time by decreasing downtime and providing a return on investment.
