Automatic / Active Ring Balancing Systems
Automatic (Active) ring balancing systems are designed to correct unbalance in rotating machinery while they are operating. unlike traditional "off-line" balancing techniques, which require the rotating asset to be stopped and often disassembled while corrections are made, Hofmann balancers monitor rotating imbalance and provide real start-up and shut-down cycles. These permanently installed balancers are proven to reduce maintenance cost and improve performance.
The balancer is installed permanently onto the rotating shaft; sensors continuously monitor the vibration levels while running. When an increase in vibration is detected above a pre-determined level, the controller initiates an advisory message as to the change in state of the unbalance. It then instructs the balancer to make an automatic balance correction, See how they work.
The balancing systems provide the ability to continuously monitor the state of balance of the rotating system. Rather than "covering up/masking," a balance problem, the balancing system continuously reports the state of the system's unbalance, thus providing diagnostic information used to predict system health and optimise service outages.
These balancers have been applied to fans, pumps, turbines, generators, compressors, grinders, lathes, spindles, centrifuges, drive shafts and aircraft propellers.

Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM)
Asset Condition Assessment and Restoration
The principal objective of an Asset Assessment and Restoration programme is to bring equipment economically back to condition, with minimum disruption. During implementation, equipment is assessed and critical differences analysed. A structured process for restoring it to it's operating optimum condition is then instituted and an action plan for restoration to design condition compiled.
Reliability Centered Maintenance
The fundamental principal of Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is to avoid or mitigate the consequences of failure. RCM is based on determining the balance between corrective and preventative maintenance to ensure that the equipment fulfils its intended function in its operating context. This method allows the consequences of each failure mode to be evaluated in its operating context and provides decision logic to decide on the most appropriate maintenance technique.

Equipment Criticality Analysis
Equipment Criticality Analysis / Audit
A Proviso Systems Equipment Criticality Analysis audit is the optimum method of highlighting potential failures within a production system, identifying the potential hazards associated with these failures and classifying them according to priority.
The process involves: selecting the assets requiring analysis; selecting the categories to be used ie. output, safety, repair time etc; putting each asset through the analysis process and reaching an appropriate score.
By using the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) approach, the appropriate maintenance requirements for individual assets can be defined.
