Cost Saving

Unplanned downtime
The customer faced a high rejection rate of guide rollers, along with difficulty managing roller eccentricity and cobble.
SKF offered integrated reliability & maintenance solutions for the roll shop:
Operation & maintenance of roll shop
Comprehensive supply of consumables
Per-ton model of payment
Focused intervention on guide rollers (Reduced rejection rate from 150 to 10 per month) 
Machine availability

Availability of rolls
High vibration and abnormal sound were observed at the Vertimill motor, caused by looseness and electrical faults.
Vertimill motor vibrations were being monitored via on-premise sensors
Condition monitoring. system automatically triggered warning for abnormal vibrations of the motor
Motor was replaced within 24 hours of the issued warning
Savings from mitigated damages
