Case Study 1

Once at the new site the lines where installed in parallel to their existing foot print.

Due to the voltage and frequency difference between the USA and the UK a 50HZ conversion was under taken of both lines this entailed changing most motors and transformers.

The lines then had their final checks:

Static and Dynamic Checks
Yellow Lining
Input Output Checks

Once all of these tasks had been undertaken successfully the line had a 5 minute shakedown, to check rotation on the motors and also to see whether any of the components had come loose in transit.

After the shakedown a full 1 hour dry run was undertaken, monitoring the lines for:

Voltage
Motor & Gearbox temperatures
Current
Heater temperatures

After the 1 hour dry run was completed the line was handed over to the customer.
