Services We Offer
Current services Twin City Vibration & Balance offers are industrial fan services including repair, troubleshooting, testing, alignment and inspection services. offer.
Precision Laser Alignment:
In 99% of all circumstances a precision alignment between a driver and driven component are essential for low vibration levels. Misalignment can lead to increased vibration levels, increased wear or all rotating components, increased power consumption, and possibly catastrophic failure of the system.
Installation Inspections:
A good running machine starts with a good installation on a solid base. Reviewing and correcting a fan installation from the anchor bolts to the flex connectors helps ensure a solid foundation on which a piece of equipment will run for years to come. This is best accomplished just before the fan is placed in its final location before being grouted into place.
Balancing:
Twin City Vibration & Balance can effectively and quickly balance most rotating equipment on site. When we are asked to balance a machine, the entire unit is checked top to bottom for underlying conditions such as mechanical looseness, belt or drive misalignment, belt tensions, and bearing condition and secondary faults.
Troubleshooting:
Many issues are invisible to the naked eye or just not common knowledge. This is where an experienced rotating equipment professional can be a great asset. Using specialized equipment and years of experience we can track down vibration sources, troubleshoot performance issues or improve the reliability of an existing system.
Route Collection:
Route collection is perhaps the best bang for your buck in the vibration world. You have a list of equipment that you have concerns on. We collect vibration data on the motor, fan, and pump bearings as they are going through their daily operations. We then analyze the data and submit the report to you with the equipment status per ISO 20816 and maintenance recommendations with supporting data.
Motion Amplification:
A video that shows the direction and amplitude of vibration in a system. Think of that, a video of a system before and after corrections have been made. These exportable videos visually convey the issue even the most mechanically inept in an easy to understand format.
Farm Services:
Grain and bin driers are some heavily abused equipment. They run 24/7 for months on end during harvest time. They run in dirty, dusty and environments. They sit idle for months and months through the wintery snows and sweating heat of summer. Each of these situations require both specialized and non-standard maintenance cycles. Twin City Vibration and Balance can assist with ensuring that the grain and bin driers will continue to operate at peak efficiency for years to come.
