Scope Of Work
Industry: Food
Application: Product drying
Savings: Total cost of Marshall’s solution………………………….$30,000
Production loss prevented by Marshall’s solution …$2,000,000
Net savings to the customer………………………….$1,970,000
This entire repair was completed in 4 days. The next best alternative would have been at least 2 weeks.
Issue: Journal failure in rotary dryer
Problem: This dryer handles 25% of plant’s production.
Alternatives:
> Replace the dryer with a new dryer- Availability 12-16-weeks.
> Remove the dryer for OEM service.
Both alternatives require removal of the unit through the roof requiring removal of obstructing equipment as well.
Solution: Marshall Industrial Technologies provided ASME Code welders and portable machining to build up the journal and machine it in place. Delivery included ASME Code inspection and documentation.
Other Applications: Portable, in-place, machining is an excellent cost saving method when moving or disassembling machinery is not practical.
