Better Production With Sumitomo Solution

Problem:
Reducers from low-quality brands, bronze crowns and repowering equipment that was tripping.
Solution:
Hyponics mounted to the shaft and Hyponics with solid shaft.
A leading juice production company used to rely on equipment from multiple cheap brands that used bronze crowns for their operation. Due to their short useful life, they would constantly replace them, considering it a normal part of the production process. Lack of knowledge led them to believe that constant replacements and repairs were typical for this type of equipment.
However, when they switched to Sumitomo brand, everything changed. They realized that with the right equipment, continuous maintenance and repairs could be a thing of the past. They went from having outages every few months to almost a decade without any issues.
This significant change not only resulted in maintenance cost savings, but also saved time as the reducers worked perfectly without failure. The motors are 30% more efficient than the ones they used before, resulting in significant energy cost savings. In addition, Sumitomo equipment adheres to FDA standards for the food industry, which is a great advantage for production.
Due to customer satisfaction, the company plans to switch to Sumitomo Drive Technologies gearmotors for all their production lines. They have nearly 400 teams working together to achieve completely first-class production without stoppages.
