Brammer, the UK’s leading distributor of Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) products and services, has joined forces with SKF to offer customers a complete solution for improving the performance of industrial fans.
Through the combination of a unique self-aligning bearing solution, housings and seal arrangement, Brammer and SKF can help deliver higher fan speeds, greater throughput, reduced energy consumption and longer relubrication intervals - factors which combine to increase reliability, lower maintenance and energy costs and extend asset service life.
As an essential component of many manufacturing processes, industrial,
process and hot gas fans can cause expensive downtime if not correctly
maintained, particularly as these products are pushed to the limit to meet ever more demanding productivity goals.
Greater reliability and genuine cost savings are achieved through reducing and dissipating the heat generated by the fan’s operation, without the need to upgrade to a more expensive lubrication method. The SKF fan shaft solution significantly increases reliability by reducing operating temperatures, enabling customers to increase fan speed and throughput while at the same time extending bearing service life, reducing vibration and noise levels and extending maintenance intervals.
Brammer’s Managing Director, Ian Ritchie, commented: “Fans are crucial components in many customers’ operations. By offering this innovative solution in partnership with SKF, we are creating a real opportunity for customers to improve production output and efficiency, while increasing reliability, reducing maintenance costs and energy consumption.
This solution will help to reduce industrial fan downtime, optimise productivity and, very importantly, deliver significant operational cost savings to customers across a wide range of sectors and applications.”
