food processing gearbox repairs rebuild services

 

Industrial gearbox repairs can be an expensive proposition for food businesses, where malfunctioning equipment could result in significant lost revenues. An overhaul will save both money and time by eliminating unexpected downtime and costly replacement costs; as well as providing an opportunity to identify any existing issues that could lead to future failures of the unit and potentially reduce maintenance costs over its lifespan.

Food processing requires equipment with stringent hygiene standards and rigorous washdown regimens that won't wear out quickly or succumb to corrosion, which could result in food contamination. Stainless steel gearboxes offer superior corrosion resistance as well as smooth surfaces that won't trap food particles, grime or bacteria and should meet these stringent requirements for success in food production environments.

Industrial gearbox repair companies that understand the food processing industry will offer solutions that increase production efficiency, enhance safety, and minimize downtime. Furthermore, these providers will offer comprehensive repair services for electrical and electronic products, such as drives, field exciters, controllers, starters, brakes, CNC/PLC motors/encoders/HMI operator interfaces/transmitters. Furthermore, these providers also specialize in conveyor repairs, mixer repairs, heat exchanger repair/replacements, oven oxidizers/burners repair/remanufacture/remanufacture for industrial machinery including conveyors/mixers/hexies/brakes etc.

Food processing plants utilizing pneumatically driven slicing machines to prepare beef and poultry for retail sale require regular lubrication. As this equipment is often exposed to extreme temperatures and constant use, as well as experiencing vibration, it requires a lubricant capable of withstanding temperature changes and vibration. Originally the machine utilized a non-food grade EP oil which worked within its temperature range but required frequent disassembly to change out oil changes which in turn may have contributed to varnish deposits that reduced equipment lifetime.

GearTec was approached by a food processing company and their experienced technicians started rebuilding process, ordering all necessary parts such as seals, breathers and sight glass before assembling gearbox using precision grinding and milling process - after checking tooth contact, measuring shaft end play and radial runout and recording results they tested its proper operation prior to shipping it off to customer.
