Many operations which use rotating machinery such as hydraulic systems, HVAC equipment, generators, turbines, pumps and transformers don’t include alignment checks as a standard item of their regular preventive maintenance programme.  Yet this simple step is absolutely vital and regular alignment can produce big benefits.

With the ever-changing advancements of technology, Nexxis remains current. ‘’How?’’ you may ask. Nexxis understands…

In order to ensure tanks are in optimum condition and to ensure any sign of degradation is flagged timeously and repair work planned and executed accordingly, operations need quality inspection techniques that they trust. 

Annoying delays, unforeseen costs, production losses, wasted manpower, unhappy customers and reputational damage are just some of the unwanted by-products of unexpected equipment failure – but with an appropriate maintenance programme and effective inspection and monitoring protocols, it is possible to reduce the risk of this happening.

Despite the fact that correct lubrication is one of the most crucial aspects of a reliability programme for rotating equipment, lubrication is often perceived as a lowly job that doesn’t require much experience or skill.

One solution when it comes to measuring energy consumption is ultrasonic flow technology.  This technology has gained widespread acceptance across many industrial sectors as a reliable and accurate way of conducting energy audits. 

It’s a well-known fact that improper alignment of shafts is one of the most common causes of vibration problems in rotating machines.  Less known however, is the fact that vibration from external sources, such as neighbouring machinery, can negatively impact the alignment of equipment, resulting in costly downtime or worse still, serious damage.

V belts don’t generally attract much attention, but you’ll find that a little effort will go a surprisingly long way when it comes to maintaining optimum efficiencies, extending their life, reducing maintenance costs and preventing machine breakdowns.

Push rod cameras offer an efficient solution for pipe, drain and sewer inspections and they allow challenging environments to be handled with efficiency and ease.
However, without due care and consideration, it can also be easy to damage your pushrod camera and repairs are inconvenient, time-consuming and often costly.
