Garlock Split Guardian Case Study

The Guardian Case Study A primary metals manufacturer was using split seal technology that required frequent maintenance due to leaks within several gearboxes on overhead cranes. the decision was made to evaluate alternate sealing technologies to reduce downtime and improve safety. Customer’s existing combustion air fan with split bearings was unable to tolerate the heat being generated from the bearing, which caused a fire hazard. after a site visit, gallagher and partner garlock determined a garlock split guardian™ isolator would withstand the application parameters.

A manufacturer in primary metals was experiencing premature bearing failure on their split pillow block bearing assembly used on the cold mill fume elimination fan. after further investigating the situation, we provided them with assistance and recommended using klozure® guardian™ bearing isolators. Gfs and partner garlock performed a root cause analysis and discovered two issues: the oem bearing isolators could not withstand the 300°f heat environment, and the existing isolators utilized incorrect grease types and were subjected to over greasing. After further investigating the situation, we provided them with assistance and recommended using klozure® guardian™ bearing isolators.
