Save Space With An Upgrade
Challenge
A local scrap metal processor faced a significant issue with the main gear drive for their magnet belt. Just one month after installation, they noticed a small crack in the gear casing that worsened over the following weeks. Six months later, the entire gear casing sheared off, taking the output shaft and internal components with it. When they replaced the gearbox with the same brand and model, they encountered the same failure six months later.
Solution
To address this problem, our distributor collaborated with the customer to find a better solution. The Cyclo® 6000 was an ideal fit for their application. Since they wanted to save space, we provided a TENV motor with a top-mount and belt-drive package. The unit has been operating smoothly for the past eight years and is expected to continue functioning well into the future.
