January 23, 2020 By Wendell Watson Leave a Comment

FMG ALWAYS FAST & RELIABLE

FMG offers breakdown analysis and extruder gearbox repair services that allow our customers to get back up and running in short order. From Akron, Ohio, we have resources to quickly obtain materials, bearings, seals and other critical items necessary for quickly completing gearbox rebuilds.

FMG Extruder Gearbox Repair

Our rebuilding process starts with inspection, disassembly, and cleaning.
We will determine the cause of failure and provide this information along with our quotation. Any evidence of misalignment, excessive heat, or overloading in your gearbox will be noted.

Gearbox Repair Process

  1. Visual Inspection– Visual inspection before disassembly.
  2. Disassembly & Cleaning– We carefully remove and catalog each part.
  3. Cause of Failure Analysis – FMG verifies sizes and gear geometry, pinions, bearing and bearing surfaces requiring repair or replacement.
  4. Quoting –Based on findings, FMG supplies the customer with a detailed evaluation report, including photographs, and provides a detailed quote based on findings.
  5. Gearbox Repair & Rebuild –Once an order is placed, FMG begins the rebuild process, starting with ordering all necessary bearings, seals, pinions, etc.
  6. Assembly & Testing–All gearboxes have tooth contact checked and backlash, as well as all shaft end, play too. A no-load spin test is performed at the top-rated speed of the gearbox to verify the correct operation before shipment.
