Bearings, other solutions eliminate downtime CANTON, Ohio, Oct. 26
/PRNewswire/ -- The Timken Company (NYSE:TKR) has added PT Essar,
the largest private steel producer in Indonesia and part of the
Essar Group, to its customer base. Timken is supplying the
replacement bearings for one of Essar's mills through an authorized
Timken distributor, PT Sumitech. The business came as a result of
not only providing product, but also assembling a technical team to
assess and improve the mill's performance. Essar was not happy with
the bearing performance at one of its mills since it entered
service. Essar replaced the original equipment bearings with Timken
four-row tapered roller bearings. Then, to solve the pre-existing
downtime problem, Timken assembled an international team of
technicians, engineers and metallurgists. The team conducted
in-depth analyses of the original bearings and their environment
and recommended efficient solutions for installation, lubrication
and sealing systems. "At Timken, our goal is to use our expertise
in friction management to improve our customers' performance," said
Kiong Boon Teo, Timken's manager of technical services in the
region. "Our work with PT Essar didn't stop with the sale of
bearings," Teo said. "We continued to work with the operation to
analyze their equipment function and developed a series of
installation and maintenance practices that has improved their
uptime and reduced their total costs." About PT Essar PT Essar's
