Our Services for Aluminum & Steel Companies

We offer a wide range of services to aluminum and steel partners, including preventative or predictive maintenance and emergency or routine repair services.

Gearbox Overhauls

We can handle just about any gearbox with our facility’s wide range of tools. With our gearbox overhauls for aluminum and steel companies, we can reverse engineer an obsolete gearbox for better performance that meets your modern facility’s needs.

Some of the equipment we can conduct gearbox overhauls for include the following:

• Ladle car drives
• Coilers and uncoilers
• Shears
• Saws
• Straighteners
• Cranes
• Flatteners
• Pinion stands

Gear Manufacturing

Need a whole new gear? We can help there, too. We manufacture precision gearing to American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) and DIN standards, with in-house no-load spin testing and dynamic balancing up to 5,000 pounds. Gearing types include helical, double helical, and internal and external spur gears. We can reverse engineer the gear needed for your application and offer service factor upgrade options such as thru-hardened, carburized, or induction-hardened materials.

Our gear manufacturing services include emergency and on-site support offerings.

Inspections, Alignment, and Pump Repair

Other services include:

• Borescope Inspections: With our borescopes, we can conduct borescope inspections for aluminum and steel companies, getting into all the nooks and crannies of your gearboxes to find issues and conduct maintenance.
• Laser Alignment Services: Our laser alignment services help ensure gears and other components operate with precision.
• Pump Repair: We can conduct pump repair for aluminum and steel companies on a wide range of pumps throughout your facility, including horizontal and vertical styles. We work on descale pumps, deepwell pumps, and offer on-site repairs for a speedy return to Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) standards or better.

With our repair and manufacturing services for the steel and aluminum industries, we can extend your equipment’s life and get you back on line quickly when problems appear. We’re up for a challenge and will do what it takes to get the job done without unnecessary downtime — and profit losses — for your company. Even if you have a big project at hand, our shop can handle it with an overhead crane capacity of over 50 tons, precision machining capabilities over 30 feet, and dynamic balance testing of over 5,000 pounds.
