Equipment in the petrochemical industry includes centrifugal style fans, material pumps, belt conveyors, water/wastewater pumps, and more for chemical, raw material, and petroleum/petrochemical processes. In many circumstances this equipment requires significant maintenance, high-energy consumption, and unnecessary labor costs. The following case studies examine how petrochemical plants upgraded their equipment with MagnaDrive ASDs to enhance operating
The recent Middle Ease Rotating Machinery Conference & Showcase in Dubai offered us the opportunity to showcase our technology for regional audiences. We were welcomed to the event by our advocate in the Middle East, Abdulrahman Al Fadhel. The event was organized to allow participants to provide presentations with question and answer sessions afterward, showcase
Our team at MagnaDrive designs adjustable speed drive systems to help companies across the industrial marketplace reduce overspending on energy costs. Many firms now deploy fans within their cooling towers that are designed to work to the highest capacity around the clock, even if this level of critical performance isn’t required 24/7. This leads to
Companies across the globe experience vibration within their pumps due to high-speed performance and coupling products not being rated for high speeds. The challenge is maintaining high-speed productivity while reducing vibration and eliminating wear on pump seals. It’s the challenge that the team at Chevron faced and one that was addressed by the team at
Conventional bolted couplings are known to be a leading cause of maintenance challenges in the modern industrial plant. These products require alignment, can transfer vibration to equipment and may cause equipment reliability issues over time. It’s why many plant operators are now turning to permanent magnetic shaft couplings in response. In this latest post, we’ll
Companies throughout the industrial marketplace are now experiencing the damage caused by vibrations between the couplings and their connected equipment. The vibration limits system efficiency and enhances the need for equipment maintenance over the long-term. Our team at MagnaDrive has great experience resolving vibration-related coupling issues and our recent case study involving our work with
In large conveyor drive systems, vibration can be transferred from the couplings to the unit directly. This vibration can lead to excessive wear, which was a problem recently experienced by the City of Antonio while operating a conveyor drive as part of their public services equipment. In this latest post, we’ll examine the issue in
MagnaDrive will be presenting a paper titled “Newly Developed Magnetic Coupling products for Energy Saving and Reliable Operation with Easy Maintenance” at the Middle East Rotating Machinery Technology and Innovation Conference & Showcase (ME RoTIC) – http://www.roticmiddleeast.com/. The event is scheduled to take place on 25th – 27th September, 2018 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. ME
The data now shows that magnetic couplings are helping companies save thousands of dollars per year on machine maintenance. Our team at MagnaDrive have helped many companies to capitalize on the benefits that magnetic couplings can bring to their plant. In this latest post, we’ll offer an overview of our recent work with the team
