Due to the excessive vibration it can cause, inaccurate shaft alignment is one of the most common culprits of seal damage and coupling failure. Even the most conservative surveys indicate that 50 percent of all machine breakdowns are directly due to poor alignment, and some show that up to 90 percent of machines are running beyond their recommended tolerances. Flowway understands the importance of proper alignment, and our engineers have a full set of diagnostic tools at their disposal to identify signs of misalignment or improper installation:

To reduce unplanned maintenance and avoid unnecessary replacement costs, Flowway Maintenance and Repair Services oversees critical systems checks and plant equipment maintenance, as well as engineered component repair, removal and re-installation services. Assistance can be provided during unplanned shutdowns to get equipment back up and running quickly, or during planned maintenance to optimize your process and achieve your shutdown window.
