7.4.1 Maintenance Intervals

NOTE

Component failure due to vibration damage! During operation, vibration can cause screw and clamp connections to work loose or the device to be subjected to severe strain, thus possibly leading to component failure. The failure of components or a device malfunction can cause material damage and consequential damages.  Check the installed device for loose connections at regular intervals.  Watch out for vibration damage during maintenance and checking.  Adapt the maintenance intervals according to the operating conditions of the plant. After commissioning, start with short maintenance intervals at first. If no damage occurs, the maintenance intervals can be adapted incrementally until the intervals specified in the instructions are reached.

Maintenance Intervals and Methods

Shorten the maintenance intervals by 30% in the event of:

– Deviation from the preferred installation position of the device (see section 5.2.2 Installation Position). – Vibrations that occur in the plant which are NOT caused by the device and CANNOT be prevented.

If the device is NOT operated for a prolonged period of time, then we recommend that a complete functional capability check be performed on the device prior to recommissioning

(See section 6.2 Functional Check / Trial Run ).

Service life of the ball bearings

The integrated ball bearings in the TANKO-EX series are subject to low wear.

The typical lifetime corresponds to the following standard parameters

– Vertical installation position hanging down

Cleaning agent: water

– Agent pressure 3 bar (43.5 psi)

– Agent temperature 25 °C (77 °F) A service life of 300 hours

With a typical cleaning cycle of 20 minutes per day and 200 days per year, this results in a product service life of 4.5 years.
