Metal Challenge #16: High costs due to long unplanned downtime

Each minute you can keep running means lower costs and better margins.

Shorten downtime with roll neck bearing management

It is of utmost importance to keep downtime at a minimum to avoid replacement costs, lost production, labour cost and scrapped material. Failing roll neck bearings is one potential cause of unplanned stops, but by having spare bearings already in place, you can reduce your downtime and increase machine availability.
