University Pump Project

A prominent public university recently faced the challenge of maintaining around 30 critical pumps across its campus, including heat and chiller pumps, sewage pumps, storm drain pumps, inline booster pumps, and condensate pumps. With no in-house maintenance department due to a shortage of skilled trade workers, the university turned to Horner for a comprehensive solution. The project involved refurbishing, replacing, and repairing various pumps, with some also requiring new motors. Horner Pump Repair, Horner Terre Haute, and Indianapolis Field Service collaborated closely to deliver outstanding results. The project was led by Kenzie Mace, Sales Rep, and Travis Brown from Terre Haute, [...]

Steel Mill Exhaust Fan Tests New Loctite Coating

Horner Industrial Coatings recently addressed an issue concerning a steel mill exhaust fan that required coating following modifications to its design. The customer reported encountering challenges related to particle accumulation on the backside of the fan blades due to the structural design of the gussets supporting each blade. In response, our Fan/Fab team redesigned the support structure and conducted all necessary welding tasks prior to coating. Given that the blades were already hard-faced, our standard process of applying a hard coat was deemed unnecessary. Instead, we opted to coat the entire fan with a zinc-based wire, effectively galvanizing it and providing [...]

Pipeline Motor Base and Loctite Coatings

A Pipeline Company had a project that was going late into October due to a 1250HP 4160V motor upgrade to a more modern frame. Once the original large existing GE 2300V motor was removed from the sled base, the surface was checked for flatness and it was found to be out close to .125”. This obviously was not acceptable for a 2 pole motor that was direct coupled to a Sulzer propane pump. Matt Phelps of Horner Fan&Fab had quoted a transition base for the newer 4160V more modern frame to meet the D dim. (shaft height). The general practice for [...]
