Haft and pulley alignment bench
Sub-assembly Shredding of plastic waste
Reducing wear, downtime and unnecessary costs associated with shaft alignment Approximately 40% of problems on rotary machines are caused by misalignment. Misaligned shafts can cause bearing failure, shaft breakage, seal failure, coupling noise, overheating, vibration... Correct alignment of machines results in increased production time, less bearing and seal noise, less vibration and lower maintenance costs.
The "Shaft and Pulley Alignment Bench" is a subsystem of the plastic waste shredder. It is intended to be used as a support for practising alignment adjustments of direct drive as well as indirect chain drive. It is equipped with a coaxial gearbox, self-aligning bearings, a handwheel with retractable handle, an elastic coupling with torque limiter and a rotary table allowing both types of transmission.
