Cement Plant
Customer: Cement Plant – Tokyo, Japan
Situation
The customer operated a 151 kW – 750 RPM – Kiln Separator, and expressed concern about coupling reliability and shaft breaking – there were instances of shaft damage due to excessive torque.
The Solution
- Replaced Elastomeric Coupling with MagnaDrive Synchra-600
The Results
Since adopting MagnaDrive technology, the customer has experienced no failures, effectively resolving previous instances of shaft damage caused by excessive torque.
Key findings:
- Elimination of Shaft Damage: Prior to MagnaDrive, the customer occasionally encountered shaft damage due to high torque. This issue was completely resolved after implementation.
- Startup Performance Measurements: The client measured motor current during startup, along with the rotational speeds on both the primary and secondary sides of the MagnaDrive.
- Minimal Speed Discrepancies: The results showed only minor differences in rotational speeds, occurring in intervals of less than one second during startup.
- Yellow line: Represents the primary side of the MagnaDrive.
- Blue line: Represents the secondary side of the MagnaDrive.
Adjustable Speed Drive and magnetic coupling solutions from MagnaDrive are ideal for a wide range of applications.
