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.
The perfect number of spares
How many bearings should you keep in stock? What is the most efficient roll neck bearing management strategy? In a performance-based contract with SKF, we can take responsibility for making sure that you always have the correct stock. This can free up space in your spares storage area while we take responsibility for keeping unplanned stops short and minimal.
