In cement manufacturing, one of the components that requires regular maintenance and occasional replacement is the slide shoe bearing of the ball mills. Tarek Nasser Al Akeel Co. (TNA) specializes in the replacement of ball mill slide shoe bearings, ensuring improved performance and longevity of the equipment.
slide shoe bearings are designed to support rotating shafts. They’re particularly useful in heavy-duty applications where loads are high and movements are slow, like in cement mills. They provide several advantages:
Self-Alignment: Slide shoe bearings have a self-aligning feature that allows them to automatically adjust and accommodate any misalignment that may occur during operation.
Load Distribution: The design of slide shoe bearings spreads the weight across several pads, which helps lessen the load on each part and keeps everything running smoothly.
Maintenance-Free Operation: While the bearings themselves are maintenance-free, the oil supply system requires regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure proper lubrication and cooling.
TNA follows a systematic approach to ensure a successful replacement:
1. Preparation and Planning: Before the replacement, TNA conducts a thorough assessment of the ball mill and its components.
2. Shutdown and Safety Measures: The ball mill is shut down, and safety measures are implemented to ensure a safe working environment for the maintenance team.
3. Removal of Old Bearings: The existing slide shoe bearings are carefully removed.
4. Inspection of Components: Once the old bearings are removed, TNA inspects the surrounding components, such as the mill shell and drive system, for any signs of wear or damage that need to be addressed.
5. Installation of New Bearings: The new slide shoe bearings are installed, ensuring proper alignment. TNA uses high-quality bearings that meet the best industry standards.
6. Lubrication System Check: The lubrication system is inspected and serviced to ensure proper oil flow and cooling to the new bearings.
7. Testing and Commissioning: After the installation, the ball mill is tested for smooth running. Any adjustments are made if required.
