Flender KMS1100 Vertical Mill Drive Rebuild
How we performed our largest most complex gearbox rebuild ever in just two weeks without missing a beat
Our customers are under pressure. How we’re taking the pressure off
American manufacturing is undergoing major transition. Challenges abound. So do opportunities. To be armed and ready, you’ve invested heavily in the latest technology. You’re under pressure to increase production for a major new customer but a broken gear tooth just shut you down. Now what do you do?
How We’re Expanding to Serve You Better
Years ago, we promised to repair or rebuild any make or model of gearbox to equal or better quality than original. Since then, we’ve kept that promise by bringing all important steps of the gearbox manufacturing process in-house under our control. This has entailed continuing investments in our footprint, our equipment and our people. We entered 2025 with major investments in all three.
How gearbox repair can save lives and livelihoods
Human beings have been using gears and gearboxes for thousands of years. From the mundane to the magnificent, gearboxes help us in ways most people never see. But as we in the industry know, from the paper products we all rely on to the tires our cars run on and the cement we build on, gearboxes keep the world running.
Recently, an historic hurricane reminded us that sometimes our work can protect and even save lives.
Why Your Routine Maintenance Should Include a Gearbox Inspection
Not long ago, we performed a scheduled annual inspection at a paper mill. No one expected anything out of the ordinary. But we found a bearing on a paper machine in failure mode with the potential of causing the mill many weeks of downtime and the loss of millions of dollars in production.
What did we do next?
The latest addition to our machine shop – a monster of a machine!
