Project details
| Client: | British Steel |
| Application: | Continuous casting |
| Gearbox: | Eisenbeiss |
| Reported Problem: | Failure intervals (MTBF) <6 months. Unplanned gearbox removal costs in excess of £40,000 |
| Considerations: | Gearbox installation in an ambient operating temperature in excess of 500°C |
| Brief: | Reduce costs by Improving MTBF |
| Result: | Improved working practices, OEM bearings & reversed engineered parts now see MTBF increased to over 18 months |
| Cost savings: | Estimated over £400,000 in unplanned removal costs PA |
