Wire Belt Conveyor Drive weekend repair

Arrow Engineering collected the drive in the early hours of Saturday morning, manufactured a new drive shaft complete with sprockets and a guide roller with Acetal wheels. The drive was delivered back Sunday evening at 5pm in time to get production back up and running.
