Introduction
In chemical and process industries, Mag-Drive reactors play a critical role in handling sensitive and hazardous process fluids while ensuring safe and reliable operation. Operating continuously under varying temperatures, mechanical loads, and demanding process conditions, the reliability of reactor bearings directly impacts equipment performance, process safety, uptime, and maintenance costs.
In such demanding conditions, effective lubrication is essential for minimizing friction, reducing bearing wear, maintaining smooth operation, and preventing premature bearing failure.
Challenge
- Short re-greasing intervals of up to two months resulting in frequent maintenance.
- Grease powder formation due to incompatibility with process chemicals.
- Grease fling-off at an operating speed of 300 RPM.
- Grease degradation and oxidation affecting lubrication performance.
- High shaft vibration levels exceeding 4.5 mm/s..
Expectation
- Extended re-greasing intervals of up to three months.
- Adhesive and chemically inert grease for reliable lubrication.
- Reliable bearing performance without failure at 300 RPM.
- Grease capable of withstanding operating temperatures up to 180°C.
- Stable shaft vibration levels during continuous operation
