Company activities
1. Vibration analysis program
Rotating machinery may have faults that can cause a significant reduction in efficiency and lifespan, negatively affecting production, equipment operations and maintenance costs. Incorporating consistent vibration monitoring inspections into your condition-based maintenance strategy will ensure your equipment is operating as designed. It is crucial to incorporate numerous important areas to ensure you achieve your program goals. We partner with your plant team to design a "best-in-class" vibration analysis program focused in providing you with the following benefits:
• Customized vibration monitoring and analysis programs based on your company goals and asset needs
• Highly trained analysts and technicians using state-of-the-art equipment to provide expert at developing, implementing and operating consistent vibration monitoring programs providing stability in your operations. Based on 11 years of experience, specialized in cement and pulp/paper manufacturing plants

3. Thermal Imaging
Electrical and mechanical failures usually occur gradually, over a period of time. As they do, several warning signs are given along the way, including abnormal thermal patterns in electrical and mechanical equipment. Infrared is a proven and applied technology for early detection of pending failures, reducing risk, increasing operational safety and production efficiency. Integrating infrared into your proactive maintenance approach is more than protection against breakdowns; it is added peace of mind. Our infrared inspection services have proven to be an effective part of an overall condition based maintenance program. Using high resolution FLIR cameras and professional reporting software
