Hassan Abdelnabby, Mechanical Maintenance Assistant Manager, AL Zeina Tissue Mill Co.

Description

Throughout the presentation I will be sharing a case study that happened this year, we monitored a defect on our Yankee roll bearings that resulted to take the call to change the bearings that costs 50,000 Euro and stopping the plant for 3 days to make the maintenance activities ,I will be shown some information regarding the paper industry inside our plant , talking about our condition monitoring program inside the factory , also discussing the SPM method in monitoring and tracking the vibration of the slow speed bearings , the history for changing the bearings and the main root cause for that , then explaining in some details the journey of detecting the damage for our Yankee bearings and the discussions throughout the process , going through the installation phase of the bearings and some of the recommended practices during installation , also I will be sharing the measurement after installation using vibration analysis , following that sharing the the root cause failure analysis for the defect and the interventions we made to make sure that we have eliminated the root cause for the problem.
