DOMTAR - SHERBROOK, QUEBEC

Initial visit to site found high axial vibration in fan rotor due to a soft foundation. The problem was overcome during a shutdown by removing the rotor and bearing pedestals then chipping away grout and base shims. The fan drive line was then completely rebuilt with new base shims and pedestals epoxy grouted in. New SKF bearings, laser aligned rotor to reduction gear box. Vibration analysis was then performed upon start up and a hot trim balance performed.
