Abstract
Description
Gear fault detection and its severity is essential for analyzing the availability,
maintainability and reliability of rinser machines. The occurrence of multiple failures of gears
and their analysis is becoming more challenging, thereby causing the increased unavailability
of rinser machines. This study reviewed the rinser machine and its various advantages and
disadvantages, including the problems associated with the machine. More so, various types of
failures associated with the spur gears were studied, and it was established that the detection
and the diagnosis of gear faults would inform a maintenance planner on scheduled maintenance.
Thus, the absence of failure detection will cause uncontrolled machine breakdown and,
consequently, result in unsafe operation as well as a loss of productivity. The study concludes
and recommends grey cast iron as alternative material that could reduce chemical failure and
failure resulting from fatigue.
