We are working on some prototype pieces that involve machining and brazing on aluminum. This process is going to use some older equipment that was once used to manufacture copper and bronze parts. Additionally there is steel welding and copper fabrication going on in the vacinity. The concern...

Are there a vibrations sensor that can be installed on a motor that is inside a vacuum furnace? We recently had a motor failure and would like to see if there is a way to monitor the changes on this motor. The motor is internal to the vacuum so the sensors will need to with stand the 2 atms of...

I was sitting in on a safety presentation for operators on electrical safety. They had a slide that had a few pictures on the right/wrong way to re-energize a MCC bucket. In the picture depicting the correct way the operator was standing to the right of the MCC with their body away from the...

OK guys, I have found three different manufactures of dual media filters that will handle the 400 gpm. We are now in the process of developing a capital authority for the equipment and going through the necessary permitting to allow for the backwashing of the material. I appreciate all of the...

Changing all of the equipment really isn't feasible. A couple of you mentioned getting a clarifier and multimedia filtration, do you know of a good company that I can contact to determine what equipment may be needed to purify the water?

It is a chrome plate stainless steel rotor by seepex. The company didn't go cheap on the pump. It is a simular pump pump that other plants use when pulling river/bay water for the process. It does run between 200-300 rpm and the pressures are in the 60-70 psi range. We are having this issue on...

I am at a newer facility and we get our process water directly from the river. Over the last two years we have had several failures due to what I describe as wear in our process water system, i.e. progressive cavity pumps, check valves, centrifugal rotors, and other equipment. We had a...

We are having an issue with a diaphragm pump. we use as a transfer pump to supply a head tank with an additive. We have not been using this additive for long and recently filled the storage tank to capacity. with the storage tank full the head pressure was able to seep back into the head tank...

I'm trying to find a cheap laser line scanner or figure out another way to accomplish my objective. In short I need a device that will sense where in a X-Y grid a piece of particulate ranging in size of 1/16" to 1/4" passes through. The area that needs to be scanned is about 16"X16". We are...

The links that rawelk gave helped and talking to some millrights and get there opinions. If you can find some of the literature for the equipment that you already own, you find that there are many simularites that can be used for a SOP. Wes

Thanks for the comments. I have since went through the motors and determined which are critical motors. Everything over 250 HP will be laser aligned. Everything between 20-249 HP will be at 1-3 mil dependent on RPM (requiring a dial indicator for these alignments). I am sitting down next...

Other than manufactuers recommendations what are some sources in determining what tolerances should be used for motor alighnment. I am in the process of gathering data for a plant and many of the pieces of equipment are one time pieces that don't have any information with them. Is there a way...

Thanks big inch exactly what I was looking for

Does anyone have a good/complete checklist for installion a pump. We are installing several pumps and want to make sure contractors don't get complacent and forget things. Thanks
