To Whom it may concern
Ram X 1000 blower serial number 1404986655
Customer order number 094995
Following an issue with the above blower while on test it was decided to strip the blower and try and
identify any possible cause for the increased noise levels heard at that time. The machine was checked
prior to dismantling to ensure oil was present in the gearboxes. The oil level was correct and in good
condition.
The blower was drained and the drive end cover removed for inspection, at this point it became evident
that the problem was a collapsed bearing on the none drive end bearing. The bearings were then
removed to inspect the shafts, at this point we found damage to the bearing location on the driven
shaft at the drive side of the blower. The blower was then fully dismantled.
Upon inspection of the headplate we found some foreign matter in one of the cavities’. This could have
been a possible cause but we can’t be 100% sure this is the case.
Once all the parts required are received, the package will be re‐assembled and tested as per contract
requirements.
