Agitator Gearbox Study
Reichhold Inc is a Houston based company that produces Polyester and Alkyd resins. They use large agitators with gearboxes on large tanks of the resins. About a year and a half ago, they began to realize they may have a problem with water getting into the gearboxes.

Sight Glass Oil Analysis
Several Years ago, when my son was a Cub Scout, his den went on a night hike at our local wildlife sanctuary. He and I went together on this outing.

It wasn't long into the hike before I realized that I was nothing more than a babe in the woods. While I was concentrating on my footing along the trail, our guide was pointing out everything from faint insect smells to the luminescent trailers of caterpillars on tree brances. Read More...
Solving the Solitary Access Port Problem
Problem: How can you take a good oil sample when an Oil Sight Glass is installed in the only access port you have to the oil reservoir?
Current Technique: To take an oil sample from the Oil Sight Glass it is recommended to purge the oil volume from 4-10 times to insure you get a representative sample, yet this is still not the ideal sample since you are pulling oil from the bottom of the reservoir. Read More...
Angus Macdonald, Lubrication Engineers International AG, describes the benefits of quality gear lubrication in the cement industry
Modem gears are performing heavier work and carrying greater loads than ever before. Gear manufacturers are redesigning, modernising and using finer steels to produce precision gears that will give better performance. Production demands in the cement industry often force users to raise production above rated machine capacities. This is done with the knowledge that gear life will be reduced, but that the increased cost will be offset by the increased production achieved. Read More...
