Worn keyway
LoctiteŽ Quick MetalŽ Repairs Gear Box Input Shaft, Saves Paper Mill
Million Dollar Shutdown
LoctiteŽ Quick MetalŽ Retaining Compound keeps paper mill running on
coal and saves it asubstantial amount of money.
Challenge:
A paper mill experienced a failure of a grid-type coupling hub on the
main drive of their coal conveyor due to a wallowed keyway and
spinning of the coupling hub on the gearbox input shaft. With no
spare gearbox, the maintenance team determined the paper machines
would have to be shut down in order to switch over to natural gas.
Solution:
A millwright who had been attending the LoctiteŽ Manufacturing
Reliability Training Process at the plant suggested a method of repair
for the coupling to gearbox input shaft with LoctiteŽ Quick MetalŽ
Retaining Compound, a creamy, non-running adhesive that can be used
between machinery parts to repair worn areas and restore correct fits.
