NZ Stainless Steel Development Association proudly presents a half-day Seminar: PERFORMANCE OF STAINLESS STEELS IN WATERS Guidelines for Achieving Top Performance THE SPEAKERS WHERE & WHEN DATE: Wed 20th April 2016. TIME: 1pm to 4:30pm 3pm - Afternoon tea (provided) VENUE: Conference Centre, HERA House, Gladding Place, Manukau, Auckland. In many industries stainless steels are used in contact with water – drinking water, seawater, brackish water, ground water, bore water, cooling water and waste water. Water conservation, environmental impact, sustainability, health and safety – all sound familiar? Stakeholders require improved returns creating greater demand for Industry to provide quality products at quicker and cheaper prices while being environmentally responsible. Is the answer to build things cheaper, or to do it better and smarter. To provide high quality, sustainable products and services for the longer term, we must look past the next few years and into the future. Stainless steels are being selected for construction of infrastructure for their superior corrosion resistance, durability, hygiene properties, and life cycle benefits. Who should attend ? This not-to-be-missed Technical Seminar will provide guidelines and information for design engineers, fabricators, specifiers and end-users, regarding best stainless steel industry practices in water-use industries. Grade selection, alloy properties, design, welding, post-fabrication cleaning and installation will be discussed. Specific applications of stainless steels in water-use industries will be addressed by the speakers.

The AU$1billion Visy Tumut Kraft Paper plant in NSW replaced original toroid roller bearings in the plant’s dryer section, tender side, with FAG SACR bearings, which are part of a specialised paper mill bearing range engineered to reliably withstand the often arduous operating conditions. A total of more than 20 of the FAG SACR 565688K. C5.W209B bearings have been installed in place of the former roller bearings used at Tumut, which had to be replaced every twelve months. “During the first five years’ operation of the new SACR bearing, no replacement was necessary. Savings over the first five years were estimated at more than $A650, 000,” says Schaeffler Australia Pty Ltd - pulp & paper sector manager David Dickie. Because the dryer section tender side bearings were prematurely failing due to lubrication issues, Visy requested assistance from Schaeffler Australia to solve the problem. Schaeffler Australia – which markets the FAG, INA and Luk brands – is part of the Global Schaeffler organisation, which employs more than 82,000 people, including more than 6,000 at 16 research and development centres dedicated to highperformance, low-maintenance bearing technology. Schaeffler bearings are backed in Australia by product selection and packaging solutions, installation expertise, online condition monitoring, and lubrication technology for optimal performance. Experts from Schaeffler Australia provided Visy Pulp and Paper with a technical solution recommending the FAG SACR bearing with centre feed lubrication setup. A six -month testing phase followed, during which an application engineer from Schaeffler installed the first SACR bearing. “Not only did the FAG SACR bearing increase production time and reduce down time, but also the technology delivered unique features valuable to manufacturing,” says Mr Dickie. “The bearing can handle misalignment and thermal expansion, for example. The inner ring can be offset to the outer ring prior to machine start up, to allow for such expansion. “An additional benefit is that this solution has minimised vibration levels and decreased operation temperatures. Cost savings “The solution can also be applied to other paper machines if issues arise in the dryer section tender side setups. “The FAG SACR bearing is a retrofit solution which can replace spherical roller bearings (SRB) without any change in the lubrication intake.”
