Biscuit production back up and running for the New Year
A leading biscuit manufacturing company held their annual
maintenance shutdown over the Christmas holiday period and whilst their
production staff were off decided to strip and replace a large shaft mount
gearbox.
Unfortunately, the new replacement gearbox did not have the
same diameter shaft as the new gearbox, which meant that the existing shaft
needed to be built up or new sleeves making. Upon inspection it was revealed
that the shaft and keyway was badly worn. It was decided that new sleeves would
be made and the worn shaft turned down to suit, re-keyed and new sleeves
manufactured to suit.
Arrow’s Engineers needed to work through the Christmas
period, including Bank Holidays, the job was eventually finished on Sunday 1st
of January 2023, 10pm and delivered back at 7am on Monday 2nd
January.
On top of this a large Rubber Coated Drive roller was also
repaired same day and delivered (50 miles) and delivered back at 7pm.
