After converting to split seals, an inner seal replacement can be done with only 15 hours of mill downtime. This simplified procedure eliminates a kiln stop and excessive loss of lubrication oil, as well as crane and workshop expenses.
The new split seal requires the same frequency of replacement and maintenance as before, but is a much faster and easier operation, which requires no special tools and can be done by maintenance staff on site.
Innovative design makes seal replacement faster, easier and less expensive
An additional benefit is that the new split seals also eliminate removal of rollers when doing maintenance on air-sealing parts.Conversion kits are now available for 27.5 to 52.5 ATOX™ raw mills. The conversion is a one-time investment: to install the conversion kit, the roller must be disassembled in the workshop.
