• We are facilitated with ladle car for hot metal transportation. Each having capacity of 140 T consisting of two bogie assembly and each assembly have two numbers of wheel and axle set.
• Each wheel and axle having two bearing houses with Bearing(22336cck/cc3-Double spherical roller bearing).
• We have to remove bearing housing in cases of bearing damage and repair of wheel & axle sets.

• Initially we used manual method of bearing housing removal which results in more time consuming and chances of bearing damage due to improper bearing mounting
• Improper bearing mounting also cause failure of bearing components Like adaptor sleeve, Checknut bolts etc.

• We have revised maintenance SOP to usage of hydraulic bearing housing puller & pusher
Benefits:
• Reduce material consumption like sleeve, check nut bolts, grease ,etc.
• Breakdown time of hot metal ladle car reduce which will results 100 % avaibility of ladle cars.
