Drive pinion maintenance & inspections can often be neglected by the maintenance department, not intentional of course, it’s just often overlooked. This can cause unexpected and unnecessary mill down time due to failure, excessive wear or a combination of both. In some cases critical spares such as the pinion are not held in store which could lead to lengthy down time due to delivery lead times. Can you afford to have your mill silent for weeks on end?
You have no doubt heard the old saying that ‘prevention is better than a cure.’ Well, the same can be said for maintenance practices for the open gear drive of any mill.
