| EQUIPMENT | WHAT WAS TREATED | WHAT WAS MEASURED |
|---|---|---|
| Jones-Shipman cylindrical grinding machine, inv. No. Sh-170 | Gearbox, in regular shop operation | Gearbox noise level before treatment and after operating time |
Gearbox noise level over the course of observation
| OBSERVATION STAGE | NOISE LEVEL |
|---|---|
| Before the work started | 75 dB |
| After ≈40 h of operation (about a week) — grinder operator's assessment | Noticeable noise reduction by ear |
| After ≈110 h of operation — repeat measurement | 63 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".
The results apply to the gearbox of the Jones-Shipman cylindrical grinding machine under the conditions of the machine shop at JSC MZKRS; on other equipment and under different operating modes the figures may differ.
