    Specialty Repair Spotlight: Breathing New Life into Industrial Machinery

    October 25, 2024

    When a large food manufacturing company purchased a specialized watermelon peeling machine at a discount, they quickly realized it was completely non-functional. They contacted the machine’s original manufacturer for help with a task that demanded a unique solution. Instead of taking on the repair themselves, the OEM referred them to Apex Industrial Automation, recognizing our expertise in specialty repairs.

    The project was a complex challenge involving retrofit and remanufacturing work. It meant updating and rebuilding the machine to modern standards and additional system integration to ensure it could seamlessly operate within the customer’s existing processes.

    The machine required significant attention to bring it back to life. Our team at Apex reprogrammed the PLC to restore control functionality, cleaned the equipment to ensure optimal performance, tested and replaced faulty wires to guarantee reliability, and rerouted older wiring to improve overall system integrity. Through these steps, we restored functionality to the machine, transforming it from a non-operational burden into a valuable asset.

    Once the repair and retrofitting were complete, Apex personally handled delivery, bringing the rejuvenated machine straight to the customer’s plant using one of our own vehicles, ensuring quality control and timely arrival.

    The result? A fully functioning, efficient machine ready to boost the customer’s production line.

    This use case exemplifies Apex’s commitment to specialty repairs—not just AC/DC motor or gearbox repair but unique and challenging remanufacturing projects. Our team’s dedication to problem-solving and technical excellence helps customers turn setbacks into opportunities for greater operational efficiency.
