SKF  (0.09 MB)

Company Announcement - SKF’s quality products and services help increase Mean Time Between Failure, deliver increased uptime, and reduce maintenance.

Air handling equipment operates under challenging conditions; heat, dust, corrosive vapours, and wash-down exposure shorten fan and blower life. Premature bearing failure results from lubrication loss or contamination, shaft misalignment, or excess vibration and cause unscheduled downtime, production losses, and costly emergency repairs. Making matters worse, accessing the equipment is usually difficult and can also be dangerous.

SKF’s comprehensive, cost-effective fan and blower solutions which include bearing and seal, lubrication, alignment and reliability solutions, reduce the chance of premature failure. SKF specialised bearings and seals tolerate harsh operating conditions while SKF lubrication systems, and shaft/belt alignment tools contribute to improve the service life of the fan.  Condition monitoring services and equipment to identify failures before they become catastrophic, are also available.

Bearing and seal solutions include: Ball and roller bearing mounted units, SKF concentra bearing units, CARB® bearings, SKF Explorer bearings, fan wheel hub bushings, split housing units, Contact seals and flinger seals, and labyrinth seals.
Lubrication solutions include: Specialised SKF lubricants, SKF multipoint lubricators, and SYSTEM 24 with 24/7 lubricators. Alignment solutions include: Laser shaft alignment tools as well as Laser belt alignment tools. Reliability solutions offer portable data collectors, on-line data collection systems, failure analysis as well as machine balancing.


As drop-in replacements, or part of an integrated maintenance system, SKF fan and blower solutions extend Mean Time Between Failures, reduce unplanned downtime, reduce maintenance and repair costs, enhance plant safety, and increase productivity.
