Find out how to avoid operational risks when disassembling Mill shafts.

When moving milling shafts, a study is usually not carried out to reduce operational risks. The accessories are usually improvised using chain slings, steel cables or crossbars with handles at their ends.

 These types of accessories are not always indicated for this operation and can cause accidents, considering that each axle has a unique center of mass. This leaves the responsibility for adjusting the shaft gripping points in the hands of the mill maintenance team.

It is common for accidents to happen due to breaking cables outside the norms, poorly made handles or unexpected inclination of the axis.

To avoid operational risks, it is necessary to know how to identify an inappropriate operation and to have accessories with certificates of origin, projects and ARTs and with updated inspection.

We at Movequip have specialized consultants and a development engineering team that can develop devices for the most diverse sizes and types of milling shafts.
