Specialty Repair Case Study:
Custom Industrial Blender Overhaul
Customer Challenge
A global food and beverage manufacturing company approached Apex Industrial Automation with a unique challenge: their custom industrial blender, critical to their production line, needed a significant overhaul. The old motor was underperforming, their old control panel didn’t meet the required safety standards, and a gearbox was necessary to enhance the machine’s efficiency and reliability.
Apex Solution
Our team at Apex embarked on a comprehensive repair and upgrade process to breathe new life into the industrial blender. The first step involved carefully removing the legacy motor, which had become a bottleneck in the machine’s operation. In its place, we installed a new, high-performance motor tailored to meet the demanding requirements of the food manufacturing industry.
Understanding the importance of precision in such a specialized piece of equipment, our engineers crafted a custom baseplate. This custom component ensured the new motor was securely mounted and perfectly aligned within the blender’s framework.
New Gearbox
We introduced a gearbox into the system to enhance the machine’s functionality. This addition was pivotal in optimizing the blender’s speed and torque, improving its overall performance. The gearbox was installed with precision, ensuring that it worked in harmony with the new motor.
Laser Aligned Belt
Alignment was a critical factor in this repair, especially with the introducing of new components. Our team utilized a belting laser alignment tool to guarantee a flawless connection between the new motor and the equipment. This state-of-the-art technology ensured the belt was perfectly aligned, minimizing wear and tear and maximizing efficiency.
Explosion Proof Control Panel
The final touch to this comprehensive repair was replacing the legacy control panel with a brand-new, custom-designed, explosion-proof control panel. This upgrade modernized the machine’s operation and significantly enhanced safety, a concern in food manufacturing.
Outcome and Customer Benefit
Apex Industrial Automation’s specialized repair and upgrade resulted in a revitalized industrial blender that exceeded the customer’s expectations. Installing a new motor and gearbox breathed new life into the machine, providing the power and precision required for high-quality food production. The custom baseplate and laser alignment ensured smooth and efficient operation while introducing an explosion-proof control panel significantly enhanced safety and compliance.
