INDUSTRY: Water Treatment

APPLICATION: Aerator

PRODUCT: Paramax 9035

COST SAVINGS ESTIMATE: $118,000


PROBLEM/CHALLENGE:

Regional Sales Representative Jim Huffaker  made a "cold call" to a local Waste Water Treatment plant in Trussville, Alabama. He presented our products, services, and other company benefits to the Plant Manager, but especially focused on Retrofits. 

The Manager perked up when hearing how Sumitomo can match the exact footprint of an obsolete gearbox. He complained about a few old industrial gearboxes they have installed, and our solution seemed to be a perfect fit.

SOLUTION:

Solving the obsolete industrial gearbox issue was a breeze. Our expert engineers in Verona meticulously custom-designed a gearbox to fit their existing footprint. This updated gearbox was more reliable, efficient, and modern. 

After learning about a sister plant nearby with the same issues, Jim reached out to their Plant Management team and exclaimed about his success in Trussville. They expressed the same frustrations and chose to switch to Sumitomo.
