1 PagesAdvanced diagnostics and prediction techniques saved 12 hours of downtime in a blower fan application at a 12 MTPA steel coating plant. Challenges included potential drive component damage from fan bearing failures and difficult monitoring due to the fan's design. Real-time insights and alerts on high vibration and acceleration led to the detection of bearing defects. Replacing the damaged Fan DE bearing based on OEM findings prevented further issues, maintaining production efficiency by ensuring moisture removal from pellet beds.
