Unplanned downtime and complex maintenance are constant challenges in cement operations. When critical equipment fails, production slows, costs rise, and maintenance teams are forced to react quickly to keep things running.
One cement plant faced these issues across multiple applications, where conventional right-angle gear boxes required extensive maintenance and full gear train replacement at a price greater than the reducer’s original cost. To address this, the team began implementing Rexnord™ Planetgear inline gear drives, taking a more streamlined approach to improve reliability and simplify maintenance.
The result was a more efficient operation with fewer disruptions across critical equipment.
