Mulcher rotor balancing

Maintaining Proper Balance in Mulcher Rotors: A Key to Efficiency and Longevity Mulcher rotor imbalance is a critical issue that can affect the performance, efficiency, and safety of your equipment. In this article, we’ll explore the reasons behind rotor imbalance, its symptoms, and effective balancing techniques to restore optimal rotor dynamics. Understanding Mulcher Rotor Imbalance The central shaft of a mulcher’s rotor holds an assembly of cutting teeth or hammers. Imbalance occurs when the mass distribution around this shaft is uneven due to various factors: – Uneven wear: Natural wear from mulching can unevenly erode the rotor’s teeth or hammers. Read more…

Balancing the electric motor anchor

Objective: Balance an electric motor rotor weighing over 200 kg. Process: An old 1990s balancing machine was paired with the modern Balanset-1A dynamic rotor balancing device. The Balanset-1A served as the updated measurement system, enhancing the machine’s precision. Conclusion: Successfully balanced the rotor by integrating the Balanset-1A with the older machine. This combination demonstrates the efficiency of modern tools with legacy equipment.

Dynamic Rotor Balancing: Enhancing AHWI Mulcher Performance Objective: The primary goal was to ensure dynamic rotor balancing of the AHWI Mulcher to enhance its operational efficiency and longevity. Introduction: Rotor imbalances can lead to excessive vibrations, which can impede the functioning of machinery and significantly reduce their lifespan. The Balanset-1A device, a tool designed for such tasks, was employed to tackle this challenge. Process: Utilizing the capabilities of the Balanset-1A, a two-plane dynamic balancing was initiated. Before the commencement of the procedure, the AHWI Mulcher’s rotor vibrations were gauged to be at a high of 24 mm/s. Such high vibrations Read more…

Crashers Example

Crusher rotor balancing

Objective: The task at hand was to dynamically balance the rotor of a considerably aged crusher. For this critical operation, the Balanset-1A device was employed. Process: Upon initial inspection, the crusher was found to be in dire shape, rendering it unsuitable for use. The Balanset-1A confirmed the rotor’s significant imbalance, which was further exacerbated by underlying issues: Both bearings were identified as worn out and in urgent need of replacement. The frame housing the rotor showed signs of deterioration and required repair. Due to excessive wear, the hammers couldn’t be securely affixed to the rotor. To achieve the desired Read more…

Example Impellers

Balancing the fan impeller in the wind tunnel

Objective: The goal was to perform dynamic balancing of a fan impeller in a wind tunnel that is part of an installation capable of lifting a person into the air. The installation comprises two fans, each powered by a 400-hp motor. Balanset-1A was selected for the task due to its precision and effectiveness. Process: Balanset-1A was used to measure the imbalance in the fan impeller. Once the imbalance was determined, the appropriate weights were added to the impeller to counteract the imbalance and reduce vibrations. Outcome: As a result of the dynamic balancing, the following benefits were achieved: Lower noise Read more…

Balancing the rotor of the machine for leather processing

Dynamic Balancing of Leather Shaving Machine Rotor Using Balanset-1A Impeccable leather processing is a foundational factor in producing high-quality leather goods. Achieving this requires not only refined craftsmanship but also reliable equipment. A critical component in the leather processing sequence is the leather shaving machine, where the hide is evenly trimmed to achieve the necessary thickness. The Problem of Vibration Unfortunately, the operation of the leather shaving machine is not always smooth. Vibrations occurring during the rotor’s operation can lead to defects on the leather, reduced productivity, and premature equipment wear. Solution: Rotor Balancing with Balanset-1A To address the vibration Read more…

Mulcher rotor balancing

Dynamic Rotor Balancing in AHWI Forest Mulcher Using Balanset-1A AWHI mulchers are extensively used for clearing forested areas, removing undergrowth, and processing wood waste. To ensure optimal operation and longevity of these machines, the mulcher’s rotor must be balanced. This article explores the dynamic balancing process of an AHWI mulcher rotor using the Balanset-1A device. Balancing Process Due to high initial vibration, the first balance was conducted at a minimal rotation speed. – Initial vibration measurement: Using Balanset-1A, the initial vibration level of the rotor was measured, exceeding 100 mm/sec, making operation at working speed impossible. – Placement of known Read more…

Mulcher rotor balancing

Balancing of Mulcher Rotor with Balanset-1A High vibration levels in a mulcher can significantly degrade its operation and lead to increased bearing wear. In one case involving a forestry mulcher, the Balanset-1A balancing tool was used for dynamic rotor balancing. This procedure not only reduced vibration but also brought a range of other benefits. Balancing Process: – Measuring initial vibration levels: The dynamic balancing device measures the initial vibration levels. – Placing weights: Weights of known mass were placed on both sides of the rotor to alter its vibration. – Measuring vibration changes: The Balanset-1A measured changes in vibration caused Read more…
