Manufacturing Partnership Winding Motor Stators

Typically, the work we receive at the Springfield Division is electromechanical components that our customers use as tools to create their own products with. In the Spring of 2019, we started a partnership to aid one of our local manufacturing facilities in producing and testing the products they make for their customers. This relationship has grown, and we are called upon in times when their orders are greater than their staff can produce. The Springfield and Indianapolis divisions have worked with this customer in the past, primarily winding motor stators. Our customer has recognized the value of having Horner as a [...]

Power Plant Shut Down Work

We all know that shutdown work is critical to all customers, how- ever, when we are working for a powerplant the stakes are even higher. Bert Serak sold a lot of shutdown work for a powerplant located in southeastern Ohio. The first job was a 1000 HP motor that had to be rebuilt and returned in 5 days. This motor looked like a UFO when it was lifted by a crane to the rooftop of the plant. The next opportunity was to rebuild a dozen fans and drive motors in 5 days. We sent two trucks to pickup the fans and [...]

Terre Haute Industrial Equipment Repair Working The Weekend

Terre Haute has been busy with a lot of work from great customers. Recently a plastics recycling customer called about high vibration on a dryer auger. This customer recycles the plastic processing it into industrial resins that are used to make plastic bags. The stainless-steel auger is used to convey plastic pellets during the washing process, prior to drying and packaging. Due to high vibration the auger was pulled and sent to the Terre Haute shop for repair. Jeremy Brown, machinist, dynamically balanced the auger and sent it back the recycling facility to be put back into production. Another project that [...]

German Engineering Gearbox

Anyone who has worked in the field of electromechanical repair has likely come across one or more pieces of German engineered equipment. It doesn’t take long to figure out the Germans have a unique way of engineering their products and for the most part, are not repair friendly. Recently our shop repaired a Knodler CMG gearbox that was designed and built in Germany. The design of the CMG gearbox is to solve a problem of needing a large amount of torque in a small package, and this gear- box does that well. CMG is an acronym for “compact motor gear” and [...]

Cement Season at Horner

It’s cement outage season in Indiana with Horner doing work in Greencastle, Louisville, Logansport, Speed, and Mitchell IN. A Central Indiana cement plant is conducting their largest Maintenance and Repair outage in 20 years. They needed to replace an entire section of both the kiln and raw mill. The company brought in a 700-ton mobile crane to the plant site requiring 78 semi loads of support to set up. The time needed for these extended kiln and mill repairs allowed the customer to do all other outage work in the same 6-week timeframe. Washington Street, Terre Haute and HMS are all [...]
