SKF Fan Upgrade Services improve reliability and minimise costs

With organisations under increasing pressure to meet productivity goals, fans and blowers are pushed to the limit. As a result, components such as bearings and seals are subjected to extremely high temperatures generated as a result of high speeds and friction levels, increasing maintenance requirements and downtime. The Fan Upgrade Services have been developed to minimise this risk, optimising fan uptime and enabling significantly higher application productivity levels to be achieved.

Within its Fan Upgrade Services, SKF offers a complete Total Fan Shaft Solution (TFSS), which includes a selection of self-aligning bearings, advanced housings, low friction seals and automated lubrication, combining to reduce fan bearing temperatures and maintenance costs. The solution uses proven SKF technology, including its low friction CARB toroidal roller bearings and Vogel centralised grease lubrication systems, which ensure that every bearing receives the right amount of the correct lubricant to minimise wear and extend service life.

SKF Fan Upgrade Services can reduce hot gas and process fan downtime and optimise productivity in many industries and applications including cement, steel, glass, paper, food and agriculture.
