Vibration analysis techniques included in the predictive maintenance plan of a paper machine

The present project is practical study of the vibration analysis techniques included in the predictive maintenance plan of one of the paper machines located in Smurfit Kappa Navarra. In the present project different topics are studied. First of all, there is an introductory part related to the fundamentals of vibration theory and measurement. Then, the productive process in the machine is explained, as well as the technology used to measure the vibrations in the different elements of the mentioned machinery. Finally, there are some real examples, where there is a description of the location and function of certain equipments, ending with the frequency analysis corresponding to a certain date in the machine history.
