Keeping Production Rolling for a Leading OSB Supplier

Unexpected downtime doesn’t just slow production, it puts profit and reliability on the line. One leading OSB supplier faced recurring issues with roll shafts, where minor journal or bearing failures meant replacing entire shafts. The result? Costly delays, mounting maintenance demands, and a growing impact on operational efficiency. They needed a more innovative, more sustainable solution.

CHALLENGES

The client’s roll shafts were prone to failure at the journals or bearings, leading to full shaft replacements. This approach drove up maintenance costs and created extended downtime risks, an unacceptable scenario for a high-output facility.

SOLUTION

CMMC collaborated with the client’s engineering team to design and manufacture custom bolt-on roll journals. This innovative solution allows for the fast replacement of only the failed journal, eliminating the need to replace the entire shaft. To further reduce response time, we also provided spare journals that can be quickly swapped out, ensuring the client is always prepared for the unexpected.

RESULTS

With the new bolt-on journal system in place, the customer has dramatically reduced the risk of long-term downtime and costly shaft replacements. Their team is now equipped with spare components that can be installed on-site in a fraction of the time, improving reliability and maintaining production flow.
