Abstract :
Large gear reducers for vertical roller mills have a lead time of over 2 years. The same can be expected of their spare parts. A catastrophic failure of a gear reducer can be detrimental to a company´s production and financial security. This paper discusses the measures taken to bring a vertical roller mill, whose gear reducer was subject to a catastrophic failure, back to 100% production in less than 6 months.
