| Predictive
Maintenance (PdM) consists of using non-invasive
equipment and techniques to analyze the condition
of a piece of operating machinery. It provides
you an advance warning of impending problems. It
can tell you when maintenance is needed and how a
piece of equipment is going to fail. It allows
you to plan for the repairs and do them on your
schedule instead of the machine's. PdM allow the
inspection of the machine while it is running, it
eliminates the need to tear it down to find
problems and it reduces the probability of
"infant mortality". SS&A is staffed with
highly qualified and experienced PdM Technicians.
Our training and certification is performed in
accordance with the Vibration Institute.
Predictive
Maintenance Program (PMP)
SS&A can
establish a predictive maintenance program for
your facility. This includes; list equipment in
order of priority, review the common failure
modes & determine the method of inspection,
set up the inspection route & frequency,
monitor & record the data, analyze the data
& predict the expected remaining life, report
impending failures & corrective actions, and
perform failure analysis on failed components.
Equipment
Acceptance Inspections
Our qualified
technicians are experienced in conducting
acceptance inspections on individual pieces of
equipment, new lines or system or entire plants.
These inspections are similar to PdM inspections
and are designed to identify "infant
mortality" failures which can be a result
of, poor design, poor quality, incorrect
installation or bad workmanship. Many of our
clients require these inspections prior to
accepting the equipment or system from the
manufacturer.
Vibration Analysis and
Field Balancing
Vibration analysis
and field balancing if required are done on
equipment that are not performing properly. This
analysis will identify the root causes of the
problem so the appropriate corrective action can
be taken.
Predictive Maintenance
Training
Our staff can train your
maintenance personnel in all aspects of PdM. We
have the knowledge and experience to teach your
personnel in setting up a predictive maintenance
program, conducting equipment acceptance
inspections, vibration analysis and field
balancing. We have trained maintenance personnel
in petrochemical plants, paper mills and process
industries.
