Applications

  • Cable Laying equipment
  • Furnace Doors
  • Mining Drills
  • Wastewater Treatment Plants

Wastewater treatment plants (one of the largest industries where over-sized custom gear racks are utilized) had previously used chains, sprockets or cables. The change benefited the wastewater processing industry since the gear racks reduced friction and vibration. Because all moving parts stayed above the waterline, their gear racks lasted longer and required less maintenance or repairs. Additionally, they could be shipped assembled or with very few components – simplifying on-site installations.
