Abstract
Abstract: The sugar industry has undergone significant changes in the past decade, with increased competition, rising costs and greater equipment complexity, while budgets, cane crushing days, operating margins, and maintenance staff have decreased. Any unexpected breakdowns of plant machineries can have a major effect on the availability and productivity of the whole plant. As a process industry, any failure in critical equipment can result in extended downtime, which directly affects the revenue generation of the entire plant. In this context, the maintenance department needs to demonstrate a positive impact on the sugar factories bottom line and necessitating the development or implementation of quality maintenance systems. A comprehensive condition-based maintenance program should incorporate a variety of technologies. While vibration monitoring is typically a key component of most condition-based maintenance programs, other monitoring and diagnostic techniques should also be included to provide a comprehensive approach in avoiding the unplanned sugar plant stoppages during crushing season.
