Balancing Mulchers and Rotating Elements in Combines and Harvesters

Introduction: The Importance of Balancing Imbalance in rotating equipment can occur not only due to wear and tear but also as a result of maintenance activities such as blade replacement, bearing changes, and welding work. Therefore, the need for balancing the rotors of mulchers and agricultural machinery is only a matter of time. The Consequences of Imbalance Vibrations resulting from imbalance not only lead to the rapid failure of bearings and adjacent components but also have a negative impact on the operator’s health. Hence, it’s crucial to monitor the condition of rotating equipment and perform timely balancing. Types of Equipment Read more

The Imperative of Centrifuge Balancing in Industrial Operations

Centrifuge Balancing: Complete Guide to Dynamic Balancing with Balanset-1A Professional Centrifuge Balancing Complete Guide to Dynamic Balancing Technology Using Balanset-1A for Industrial Centrifuges Critical Importance of Centrifuge Balancing Industrial centrifuges are essential equipment in chemical, food processing, oil and gas, and pharmaceutical industries. These high-speed rotating machines require precise balancing to ensure optimal performance, safety, and longevity. Operating centrifuges with imbalanced rotors leads to severe operational and economic consequences. Consequences of Centrifuge Imbalance 🔴 Product Quality Degradation Unstable centrifuge operation results in poor component separation, leading to substandard final products and increased waste. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, this can compromise entire Read more

The Importance of Fan Balancing in Industrial Equipment Maintenance

Fan Balancing – Eliminate Vibration & Extend Equipment Life Fan Balancing – Eliminate Vibration & Extend Equipment Life Imagine a high-speed industrial fan shaking violently, with bolts loosening at each rotation. This nightmare scenario is often caused by a slight imbalance in the fan’s rotor. Excessive vibrations and noise are more than just nuisances — they are warning signs of a problem that can lead to costly downtime and repairs. Fan balancing is the process of correcting this imbalance. It is one of the most sought-after procedures in equipment maintenance because fans are highly sensitive to any uneven weight distribution.

Balancing Mulcher Rotors: Why and How?

Balancing Mulcher Rotors: Why and How? A mulcher is powerful equipment used for shredding vegetation, shrubs, and trees. The mulcher’s rotor, rotating at high speeds, is subjected to significant loads. Rotor imbalance can lead to severe vibrations, noise, and premature wear of the equipment. In this article, we will discuss why balancing the mulcher’s rotor is so important and how to perform it correctly using the portable balancing device Balanset-1A. Video: The Process of Balancing a Mulcher Rotor Detailed Overview of the Standard Balanset-1A Package Balanset-1A is a popular portable device for rotor balancing. The standard package includes: Control Unit Read more

Industrial Centrifuge Balancing – How-To Guide & 6 Mistakes to Avoid How to Balance an Industrial Centrifuge: Step-by-Step Guide and Common Mistakes to Avoid Have you ever seen a centrifuge shake like it’s about to launch into orbit? In industrial settings, an unbalanced centrifuge can cause intense vibration, leading to costly downtime, safety hazards, and product losses. We recently witnessed this at a home textile factory producing down pillows and blankets: one high-speed centrifuge was vibrating violently, threatening to halt production. The solution was clear – once the rotor was properly balanced, the vibration levels dropped more than tenfold, and Read more

Combine Rotor Balancing. Savings on Repairs and Maintenance.

1. Introduction Rotors of agricultural machinery (threshing drums of combines, straw choppers, rotary mowers, etc.) rotate at high speeds and carry significant mass. Even a slight imbalance in such rotors can cause strong vibrations, affecting the operation of the entire machine. Balancing rotors is a crucial part of servicing combines and mowers, which determines the reliability and efficiency of the equipment. However, in practice, this aspect often receives insufficient attention. As a result, unbalanced units lead to accelerated wear of parts, unexpected breakdowns in the peak season, and even pose a safety threat. This material examines in detail why rotor Read more

Introduction to rotor balancing

Dynamic balancing devices for shafts and machine equipment Balanset-1A priced at €1751. The rotor is a body which rotates about some axis and is held by its bearing surfaces in the supports. The bearing surfaces of the rotor transmit loads to the supports via rolling or sliding bearings. The bearing surfaces are the surfaces of the trunnions or the surfaces that replace them. In a perfectly balanced rotor, its mass is distributed symmetrically about the axis of rotation, i.e., any element of the rotor can be matched with another element located symmetrically about the axis of rotation. In a balanced Read more

Balancing the crusher at the Nestlé plant.

Elevated Vibration Levels in Nestle Pet Food Plant In June of last year, a contractor responsible for maintenance at a Nestle plant specializing in pet food production encountered an issue with one of the crushers. Post-maintenance, the machine displayed increased vibration levels, reaching up to 8-9 mm/s, well above the acceptable standards. The Consequences of High Vibration High vibration levels in machinery like crushers can lead to: Increased wear and tear Elevated energy consumption Possible safety hazards Disruption in production quality The Balancing Intervention To address this urgent issue, balancing procedures were performed on the affected crusher. The intervention involved: Read more

Portable vibrometer-balancer ArBalance

Portable vibrometer balancer ArBalance.

During the balancing of the Fecon forestry mulcher with the FAE attachment, our specialist recorded short videos of the rotor balancing process. In this video, a portable balancing device, the ArBalance vibration analyzer, is used. The balancing process is similar to the process with the Balanset-1A device. The technical characteristics of the device are similar, and vibration sensors and a laser tachometer are suitable for both devices. If desired, the ArBalance can also be used as a measuring system for machines. Its main difference is that the ArBalance is completely autonomous and does not require connection to an external power Read more

Modernization of an old balancing machine with hard-bearing supports.

Earlier in the article, I described the modernization of an old balancing machine with soft-bearing supports. For such machines, we install the Balanset-1A balancing device in the case of machines with two supports, and the Balanset-4 in the case of machines with more supports. In this article, we will consider the modernization of an old balancing machine with hard-bearing supports. Their supports are made in the form of rigid plates with shaped grooves (slots). The natural vibration frequencies of these supports are significantly (at least 2-3 times) higher than the maximum rotational speed of the rotor being balanced on the Read more
