Industrial Gearbox Repairs

Our engineers have the experience required to work with the complex challenges industrial gearboxes present. We have worked across a variety of sectors repairing gearboxes for many varying applications such as:

– Conveyance systems for parcel sorting houses, airports and factories etc 

– Distribution centres and warehouse storage

– Agricultural products like hoppers, de-stoners and peelers

– Construction equipment ranging from drilling machines to sand washers and tower cranes

– Mining equipment like transporter belts and excavators

– Extrusion machines

– Food processing plants

– Precision engineering applications

A faulty gearbox can be notoriously complex to repair, whether it is overheating from lack of lubrication oil or damage to the internal gears and/or bearings. Typically however, we find the following issues when inspecting faulty gearboxes:

– Lubrication oil can become dry when not replenished, causing the internal parts to overheat 

– Worn out bearings, due to overuse and excessive heavy loading

– Mechanical parts seizing or locking up and in turn causing damage to the gear or cog arrangement

– Worn out gear wheels in need of replacement

– Excessive load strains exceeding safety limits

– Gearbox shafts become fatigued
