Vrancart S.A. Adjud is currently undergoing a process of modernization. A big part of this is focused on increasing the productivity of the K25 board machine; hence a decision to invest in an online vibration monitoring system was taken. SPM’s online system Intellinova with vibration monitoring units and DuoTech accelerometers was chosen, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
“After twelve years of condition monitoring with portable instruments, we see a great benefit in having an online condition monitoring system that can help us see in real time the dynamic behavior of the machine and also to determine how the changes in technological parameters are influencing that. All of that will help us to further increase the speed of the machine, and with that the productivity. DuoTech was the decisive argument for choosing SPM, being able to provide the benefits of both the vibration and shock pulse technologies. The ability to obtain a longer pre-warning time has also played an important role,” said Radu Alexe, Predictive Maintenance Specialist at Vrancart S.A.
In conjunction with the installation of the Intellinova system, existing vibration sensors and cabling, used for remote measuring points with their handheld instrument, were integrated into the online monitoring units.
The online system was also expanded to include more measuring points on the board machine K25, where one hundred and forty DuoTech accelerometers were installed and connected to the system. In total, the system covers over two hundred measuring points on the felt rollers, gears, suction rolls and press roll bearings.
SPM Instrument Bulgaria EOOD is the main contractor for the project, responsible for installation and commissioning, carried out by SPM service engineers.
Romanian paper mill Vrancart S.A. Adjud is one of the country’s most important producers of corrugated cardboard, paperboard and tissue papers.
