"Achinsk Refinery VNK" JSC: Response to the operation of the stand COMPACS-RPP

Since 1999 till the present time the Achinsk Refinery has been operating the stand COMPACS^®-RPP, providing a 100% acceptance tests of supplied to the plant bearings. During the stand operation there were no failures of a diagnostic station and a drive mechanism. The stand COMPACS^®-RPP is easy to operate, the bearing diagnostics is carried out in a short time with a high percentage of guaranteed reliability.

The main advantage of COMPACS^®-RPP is ensuring an accurate and easily understood information about the inspected bearing condition, which allows to decide timely upon its use in order to reduce the probability of failures development.

Within a few years 1300-1500 bearings have passed acceptance tests and diagnostics. In the period from 1999 to 2002 the number of defected products was 15-20%. The main reason was the low quality of production. Currently, the identification of sub-standard products is 4-5,5% of the total number of those which passed the acceptance test. The main reason for the defects reduction is the increase of requirements on the stage of ordering and the transition to the bearings SKF.
