<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>KEYS TO THIS INDUSTRY<\/p>\n<\/div>
Reduced downtime and increased production in the paper industry<\/h2><\/div>The application of predictive maintenance systems, both portable vibration data collectors and modern on-line monitoring systems, is well proven in the paper industry.
The following are the critical points where it is advisable to sensor the machines in order to continuously monitor their status.<\/p>\n
This is perhaps the most critical area of the paper machine because of its influence on paper quality. Vibration monitoring will provide information on the condition of: <\/p>\n
\n- Bearings.<\/li>\n

Although vibration measurements of this zone have traditionally been taken manually, the high part inside the hood could not be measured with the machine running because of the high temperatures recorded there. Placing a sensor for each bearing in this area may seem costly and laborious, but the factories that have already done so continue to maintain the installation, as they have already seen the advantages of having the necessary information to replace bearings during planned shutdowns and thus anticipate undesirable failures that cause ruinous production stoppages. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
