Clay Mixer Project

A manufacturer of clay products was having problems with a clay mixer in their facility. The mixer mixes up a formula and consistency of clay to make products. Mechanical Field Service removed the mixer and had it brought to Machining Services where it was dismantled. The failure caused shaft and housing damage as well as hydraulic cylinder damage. The cylinder was sent to our Cincinnati Hydraulic division to have new seals put on and was reconditioned. At Horner Machining Services they worked on machining the gears and repairing the housing fits and the components that went with it. Mechanical Field Service installed it back into production and we had a very happy customer, one who praised us for our large catalog of industrial services.
