Transmissions [Large Scale] Application Heavy Duty Systems

Notes

Utilising the technology for the protection of heavy industrial transmissions has generated major savings (up to 100K[pounds sterling] per annum from one installation!) from:
- capital plant life extension
- extended fluid life
- reduced filter spares
- reduced disposal costs
- reduced downtime (most important of all!)

The Magnom™ has been used in a range of large gearboxes ranging from wind turbines up to large kiln drives

In every case the Magnom™ has been found to remove the damaging metallic debris down to less than 1 micron. This has been found to reduce wear dramatically, therefore making the gearbox last longer.

Additional benefits include extension of lubricant life and the system can be installed without reducing the flow, even in gear oils with viscosities of 12,000 CSt.

A Magnom™ Process Unit or 10” HT Unit is usually installed in the oil line or when the oil is not pumped it is often introduced onto a skid (a dialysis type arrangement). We can provide engineered sytems where the Magnom™ unit can be pre-piped and skid mounted as a kidney loop for ease of specification, purchasing and installation on site.

Specific installations to date include:
- Coal fired power stations on coal crushing transmissions
- Sugar mills on pulp press, diffuser tower and other transmissions
- Cement plants on kiln transmissions, coal crushing transmissions and cement pulverising transmissions
- Aluminium plants on roller transmissions
- Rubber manufacturing plants on mixing and drying kiln transmissions
- Pharmaceutical manufacturers on mixing and drying kiln transmissions
- Paper, pulp and plasterboard plants on roller and mixer transmissions
- Print works (newspapers, rotary gravure plant...)
- Mining and mineral extraction large scale transmissions (crushing, grinding, milling…)
- Wind turbines
