Improved reliability

In this environment contaminated with coal dust, when bearing failure occurs, the bearing replacement cost is extremely small compared to the cost of plant downtime.

One way to improve bearing performance and reliability is to use SRB split roller bearings of the type manufactured by Revolvo UK. SRB split roller bearings perform exceptionally well in harsh operating conditions (even fully submerged using appropriate sealing), even under conditions of serious shaft misalignment, whereas solid mounted spherical roller bearings can suffer from non-concentric ineffective seals that will rapidly lead to expensive premature bearing failure.
