TCB Industrial has been awarded a blower bearing replacement scope at an industrial facility in Northern California. Bearings are fundamental to rotating equipment performance, and their condition directly affects vibration levels, energy consumption, and equipment longevity.

This award focuses on replacing worn bearings to restore stable blower operation and prevent secondary damage.

Importance of bearing condition

Blowers operate under continuous load and are sensitive to imbalance and misalignment. Bearing degradation often presents as increased vibration, noise, and temperature, which can propagate damage to shafts, housings, and connected components if not addressed.

Replacing bearings proactively is a targeted intervention that protects the entire equipment train.

Execution planning

TCB’s execution begins with verification of isolation and equipment condition. Disassembly is performed methodically to preserve reference points and prevent damage to mating surfaces.

Bearing removal and installation are executed using appropriate tooling and techniques to avoid introducing stress or contamination. Alignment considerations are addressed during reassembly to ensure the new bearings operate under optimal conditions.

Safety and control

Bearing replacement involves suspended components, pinch points, and stored energy hazards. TCB establishes controlled work zones and enforces verified lockout/tagout procedures throughout execution.

Quality and turnover

Final checks include verification of bearing installation, lubrication condition, and readiness for return to service. The objective is stable operation with reduced vibration and extended service life.

What this award represents

This project demonstrates TCB’s ability to deliver focused rotating equipment maintenance that improves process stability and reduces long-term risk.
