On-site Inspection and repair of BIERENS K2A3-70

Scope of work:

We performed an inspection and repair on a gearbox BIERENS K2A3-70

GBS International performed a complete review and complete overhaul on this BIERENS K2A3-70 gearbox from one of our clients in Netherlands. After a good test run, we transfered the BIERENS K2A3-70 gear unit back to the client.

Conclusion recommendations:

The current condition of the inspected bearing does not impede the correct and reliable operation of the gearbox. The gearbox is scheduled for a transfer in October 2016.

We have the following comments for this transfer:
- The lifting beam above the gearbox must be inspected for at least the weight of the gearbox
- The gearbox must be completely dismantled and transported to GBS
- All bearings and seals will be replaced there and the gearbox will be inspected for further damage
