Lumut Port (Lekir Bulk Terminal) 1. Vibration survey and condition verification
1.1. Background
Two units of plan conveyor motors at Lumut Port which are Trestle Conveyor 10 (TC 10 M02) and Trestle Conveyor 20 (TC 20 M02) experiencing a high vibration. AFCM were ask to make a vibration measurement and analysis on these two motors. It was discovered that the high vibration on both of the motor are fluctuating and the level are noticed on the floor.

2. Vibration Measurement Results 2.1. TC 20 Motor 02
2.1.1. Vibration data
The absolute vibration is measured at all bearings at condition of normal operation on TC 20 Motor 02.

It can be observed that from above table, most of the dominant vibration were contributed from the motor side. The horizontal direction experienced higher level of vibration due to flexibility of position of the machine that mounted vertically. Based on the ISO 10816-3, this machine exceeded the danger threshold (zone D). This phenomena are clarified on the spectrum below.

2.1.2. Vibration Spectrum
As shown on the spectrum waterfall plot below, the vibration is actually highly fluctuated from 20 mm/s to less than 10 mm/s, on both motor sides during measurement.

After studying the nature of the oscillations, the dominant vibration were contributed by 1X running speed of the machine. The level of 1X vibration fluctuating while the running speed is constant. Further analysis required to identify the cause of fluctuating symptom. It is suspected that those present fluctuation is caused by beat phenomenon.
Acceleration waveform above shows that the vibration spectrum for the motor had a sidebands with 0.248 Hz. The frequency of the peaks with 24.69 Hz is corresponding to the speed of the motor, and 24.43 Hz is suspected belongs to the running speed of TC 10 motor 01.
It is believe that the beating effect that occurs on this machine is caused by an interference from another machine that is closely spaced.

After studying the nature of the vibration characters, we observed that this machine is having similar symptom as TC 20 Motor 02.
3. Recommendation
Based on our findings, this beating phenomenon is induced by the position of two closely located machines which are Motor 01 and Motor 02.
To reduce or eliminate this beating effect that cause the structure to vibrate fluctuately, it is advisable that action can be implement on the machine without a lot of structure modification by installing a vibration isolator, to prevent the transmission of mechanical vibrations into the machine floor. The isolator (spring) functioning with a minimum of 1 inch or 25.4 mm compression mounted at each sides of machine steel frame.
Picture below shows typical design on how the vibration isolator was used to support heavy equipment.

Pictures below showed two types of vibration isolator which are commonly installed on identical closely spaced machines that operated in parallels. It is known as proven results in order to reduce and isolate the transmission of vibration from mechanical equipment through a floor structure of mechanical equipment and at the same time it also to protect equipment from damage during any seismic activity.
