Repair of Mill cylinder

Scope of work:    Machining to suit an undersize bearing 

• Initial strip down and inspection of the two cylinders – Appraisal documents populated with damage and seal/fastener requirements.
• Manufacture of new chrome rods due to the heavy mechanical damage and scoring incurred on the old rods from the working environment.
• Also new rod eyes c/w bearings supplied, and rear cylinder eyes were bored and sleeved to accept new bearings due to excessive wear and seized pins.
• One of the cylinders also required a new front seal carrier manufactured to replace the existing heavily damaged unit.
• All seals were replaced as per samples and the cylinders reassembled, function tested and finally pressure tested.
• All test oil was evacuated from the cylinders before sealing the cylinder for contamination control.

Result:

All final checks were completed after testing and the cylinders were repainted in a preferred coating before delivering back to the client.
