CAMS SCREW CONVEYORS: POWER STATION DOWNTIME PROBLEMS SOLVED

“The CAMS screw conveyor was purchased in a bid to solve a serious issue. It has done exactly that and performed better than we had hoped. The labyrinth protection is well designed and really prevents dust getting into the bearing. It makes all the difference and as a result bearings last far longer.” Engineering Manager

The Challenge:

The engineering team at a large power station were struggling to keep a screw conveyor running. Abrasive ash was causing standard hangar bearings to fail regularly leading to expensive damage to the conveyor and excessive downtime. The team decided to find a replacement.

Our Solution:

CAMS Screw Conveyor fitted with heavy duty labyrinth protected hangar bearings and drive
connections

The Improvement:
