CLIENT BRIEF:
We were asked by one of our longstanding customers to replace the terminal end drive drum and associated components. We attended site to measure up the existing outfeed drum, bearings and housings. Following which, our in-house design team drafted new manufacturing drawings for the drum and shaft, ensuring that it was statically balanced. Our engineering department also calculated and identified the correct bearings and housings. Following manufacture of the drum and shaft, two of our engineers attended site to install the new components. Our specialists de-tensioned the line prior to cutting the oven band. Following which, the existing drum and bearings were removed. The area was then cleaned and prepared ready for the installation of the new drum and bearings.
Using our specialist equipment, our engineers ensured that the new drum and bearings were correctly aligned to ensure that the belt tracked correctly. The belt was then aligned, re welded and finished. Our specialists reapplied tension to the line, prior to monitoring the belt in cold and hot condition, ensuring the line was tracking correctly. Our precision, design, manufacturing and installation process ensure that the new drum and bearings, are sufficient to handle the significant forces and temperatures and function for decades to come!
