Jones-Shipman machine: the gearbox became quieter with no disassembly

The machine became quieter in operation, the grinder operator noticed the change by ear, the unit was not opened up. 12 dB — gearbox noise level, 75 → 63 dB (2006).

Gearbox noise level over the course of observation

OBSERVATION STAGENOISE LEVEL
Before the work started75 dB
After ≈40 h of operation (about a week) — grinder operator's assessmentNoticeable noise reduction by ear
After ≈110 h of operation — repeat measurement63 dB

Measurements were taken at the gearbox before the product was added and again after ≈110 h of machine operation; the unit was not disassembled during this period.

Conclusion of the plant commission

The commission of JSC MZKRS recorded a reduction of the noise level in the gearbox of the cylindrical grinding machine from 75 dB to 63 dB. The grinder operator noticed a marked reduction by ear after just 40 h of operation; the instrument measurement was taken after 110 h. The unit was not opened and no parts were replaced: the revitalizant gel was added to the lubrication system of the machine, which stayed in shop operation. Conclusion of the report: “the positive results achieved demonstrate the effectiveness of using the revitalizant gel of the XADO company on metal-cutting equipment”.

XADO Pilot Testing Programme

Application submitted by

Pilot treatment on the enterprise's equipment

  • any oil- or grease-lubricated assemblies: gearboxes, engines, compressors, bearings and others;
  • treatment within the regular operating cycle, without halting production;
  • instrumental measurements before and after: vibration, temperature, power consumption or current;
  • procedure for the specific assembly, dose calculation and support from a XADO engineer.

After the application, a XADO engineer will agree the units and the list of measurements with you.
