ON DEMAND - This presentation by ABB will detail the significant advancements of its new modular sealing system. It will explore the key enhancements that set this system apart from its predecessors, discuss the specific feedback from customers that drove these improvements, and highlight the benefits of the modular design. Additionally, insights will be shared from the system’s successful pilot implementation at the Aitik Boliden mine, demonstrating its practical applications and effectiveness in real-world conditions.
For over 20 years, ABB has utilised its traditional sealing system design for the gearless mill drives (GMD), which is a cornerstone of equipment reliability and performance. However, through extensive feedback from a diverse range of GMD customers, ABB identified several areas where the system could be further refined and improved.
In response, ABB assembled a dedicated team to focus on these enhancements. Over the past few years, this team has worked diligently to address the identified issues and innovate a solution that meets the evolving needs of the industry. The result of this effort is our new patented modular sealing system.
This groundbreaking system incorporates several key advancements:
- Modular Design: Unlike the traditional design, the modular system allows for easier installation and maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs.
- Enhanced Sealing Performance: Improved materials and engineering have resulted in superior sealing capabilities, providing better protection against contaminants and extending the lifespan of the equipment.
- Adaptability: The modular nature of the system means it can be easily adapted to different equipment sizes and configurations, offering greater flexibility for various applications.
- Customer-Centric Improvements: Each enhancement is a direct response to customer feedback, ensuring the system meets real-world needs and challenges.
This on demand webinar aims to showcase these main improvements, demonstrating how the new system not only addresses past concerns but also sets a new standard for sealing technology. The presentation will also highlight the successful pilot implementation of the modular sealing system at the Aitik Boliden mine, where it has proven its effectiveness and reliability in a demanding operational environment.
