CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL

CUSTOMER & TEST PROFILE

In January, Lone Star experienced a major failure with
their # 2 trunnion bearing. The trunnion shaft was badly
cut. The plant manager had been planning a winter outage
but it was not scheduled until March. The trunnion change
out would require several days to change out.

CUSTOMER TESTS & RESULTS

They took a chance by changing out the failed bearing,
leaving the trunnion which weights approximately 50
tons in place and the added Petron Plus Formula 7
Transmission & Gearbox Supplement to the high pres-
sure lube system. The trunnion bearing lasted until their
March outage. The plant manager stated...“Just how
significant that was you probably can’t fathom, but the Rotary Kiln & Trunnion Bearing
scored trunnion shaft and bearing shouldn’t have lasted
several hours of operations. When we dismantled the
trunnion assembly we had a representative from Allis
Chalmers present for the reassembly process. He could
not believe what he saw. The bearing under the scored
shaft did not have a mark on it.”

I. D. FAN BEARINGS

They ran the raw mill I.D. fan for two months with shaft
slightly scored and babbit pulled. After shutting down to
change bearing, shaft was smooth and there was no fur-
ther bearing damage.
