Rotary kilns and heavy horizontal mills represent the lifeblood of cement, chemical, and mineral processing facilities. When a trunnion or support roller bearing overheats or seizes, the thermal distortion and mechanical damage can halt entire production lines for weeks.
Key Prevention Strategy 1: Dual-Trigger Lubrication Routes. Setting grease replenishment solely by the calendar leads to either under-lubrication during peak production or seal-blowing over-lubrication. Automating lubrication triggers by machine running hours eliminates this vulnerability.
Key Prevention Strategy 2: Vibration & Bearing Shell Temperature Baselining. Shift operators must record temperatures and peak shock-pulse vibration readings across identical duty cycles. Early micro-spalling in bearing raceways produces distinct ultrasonic signatures weeks before audible noise occurs.
How Wrysto Automates This: With Wrysto mobile rounds, technicians log temperature and vibration values against automated tolerance envelopes. Any deviation immediately triggers a Level-2 engineering inspection work order before mechanical seizure.
