DYNAMIC BALANCING

OF BLOWERS
DECEMBER 2022
BACKGROUND
One of our client has called us urgently to
perform in-situ dynamic balancing for three
blowers of similar configuration which
shows significant increase in vibration
amplitudes after motor overhauling.

Site - A leading petrochemical facility in

Kuwait
Motor size - 100 hp
Blower directly mounted on the Motor shaft
