Soft Start For A Water Plant

The water/wastewater market can sometimes be a tough market to get into. Manufacturers build specific products that are built solely around this market to help remain competitive against other markets such as industrial/HVAC. One challenge is that manufacturers only have a few select distributors that have access to their water/wastewater products. Sometimes a customer may have an existing water/ wastewater product or wants a brand that Horner does not have direct access to. Unfortunately, this limits our ability to react quickly, quote competitively, and support the customer the way they deserve. This is why Horner continues to build relationships with other [...]

Oil Filter Manufacturer Press Upgrade Project

Most of us are old enough to remember the oil filter commercial tag line, “pay us now or pay us later.” Well, those oil filters are made in a facility in Greenville OH and are stamped out on several large stamping presses. These presses were designed with eddy current clutch and motors to drive the press flywheels to enable variable speed operation. Over the last 30 years, the clutch drives have required high maintenance and were undependable. Now on to the solution; Mark Russell (outside sales) had several meetings with engineering staff with assistance from Dave Whited (product sales), Kim Shellabarger [...]
