Sootblower carriages need constant monitoring and repair. This is because high temperature steam passing by the gearbox and through the lance bearing hub causes lubricant breakdown leading to seal, bearing, and gear failure. This results in:

Though not always recognized as such, these issues are the result of inadequate lubrication technology.

The offer includes:

• Maintenance and capital savings;
• Improved boiler operating conversion;
