What we do · 03

Spare Parts

Wear and spare parts for plant whose manufacturer has stopped production.

If the part is no longer available, we make it.

The manufacturer has discontinued the series, the drawing has vanished and the plant is still expected to run for another ten years. That is the normal case in conveying technology, and the reason we manufacture from a sample instead of selling from a catalogue.

01

Bucket elevators

On a bucket elevator, it is rare for everything to wear out at once. Usually it is the buckets, the conveyor chain and the drive and return sprockets. Those are exactly the items you can get individually, without replacing the whole elevator.

  • Drive unitMotor, gearbox, coupling, chain drive
  • Bearings & shaftsBearing housings / bearing units, drive, return or take-up shafts
  • Conveyor chainsFork link chains, bush conveyor chains & round link chains, to customer specification or our own survey
  • Elevator bucketsMaterial to customer specification or request, also with toothing
  • ShaftsDrive, return or take-up shafts and sprockets, drive, return and take-up sprocket stars, and return rollers
  • Trough sectionTrough sections, drive stations, return stations, take-up stations, inlets and outlets
  • AncillariesChain scrapers, chain chisels, stuffing box housing units & rotation monitors

Screw conveyors

Flights wear at the outer edge first. We manufacture complete screw shafts or individual flights and sections from your sample, with the pitch and plate thickness your machine needs.

  • Drive unitMotor, gearbox, coupling, chain drive
  • Bearings & shaftsBearing housings / bearing units, intermediate bearings
  • Screw shaftcomplete screw shafts to customer specification or our own survey
  • Screw flightMaterial to customer specification or request, also with toothing
  • Trough sectionScrew troughs, drive end plates, end bearing plates
  • AncillariesStuffing box housing units & rotation monitors

Belt conveyors

On a belt conveyor, the biggest lever is scrapers, idlers and guide rubbers. They cost little, keep the belt clean and stop material from being carried back and fouling everything.

  • Drive unitMotor, gearbox, coupling, chain drive
  • Bearings & shaftsBearing housings / bearing units
  • Conveyor beltfor bolted fitting or endless
  • Rollers and pulleysIdlers, drive and return pulleys
  • Scrapers & guidesScrapers & guide rubbers

Chain conveyors

Stretched chains and worn-out flights are the most common reason a drag chain conveyor runs rough. We supply the complete traction unit, including drive and return sprockets and wear rails.

  • Drive unitMotor, gearbox, coupling, chain drive
  • Bearings & shaftsBearing housings / bearing units, drive, return or take-up shafts
  • Conveyor chainsFork link chains, bush conveyor chains & round link chains
  • Wear rails / wear protectionC45, HB500, manganese, wear-resistant plastic versions, hardfaced version
  • ShaftsDrive, return or take-up shafts and sprockets, drive, return and take-up sprocket stars, and return rollers
  • Trough sectionTrough sections, drive stations, return stations, take-up stations, inlets and outlets
  • AncillariesChain scrapers, chain chisels, stuffing box housing units & rotation monitors, individual flights and bellows

05

Apron conveyors

On an apron conveyor the plates and the chain carry the load together and they wear together too. We supply the apron plates to your specification or our own survey, plus the matching conveyor chain and the wear protection on the wear rails.

  • Drive unitMotor, gearbox, coupling, chain drive
  • Bearings & shaftsBearing housings / bearing units, drive, return or take-up shafts
  • Conveyor chainFork link chains, bush conveyor chains & round link chains, running rollers

Roller conveyors

Roller conveyors go unnoticed until one roller seizes. We supply rollers, bearings and drive elements individually, to the shaft dimensions your conveyor actually has.

  • Chain returnsturned chain wheels with bearing insert, mounting brackets
  • Conveyor chainsRoller chain

  • Support frameSteel structures, height-adjustable feet
  • AncillariesChain lubrication, permanent bearing lubrication

Silo discharge systems

At the silo discharge, sweep arms and sweep wheel work inside the material and are loaded accordingly. We manufacture sweep arms and sweep wheel hubs to your specification or our own survey, with hardfaced tips if required, and supply the bearings, shafts and drive to go with them.

  • Drive unitMotor, gearbox, coupling, chain drive
  • Bearings & shaftsBearing housings / bearing units, drive, return or take-up shafts

Frequently asked questions

Good to know.

Then we work from the old part. Send it to us or we measure it at your site. The manufacturing drawing comes from that. With older plant this is the normal case, not an obstacle.

Yes. Whether it is one idler or a complete chain set, there is no minimum order.

It makes sense for anything that would bring the plant to a standstill if it failed: traction elements, drives and wear parts with long procurement times. Tell us which plant is critical. We will put a recommendation together.

Plant down? Give us a call.

When there is a fault or a plant stoppage, every hour counts. One call is enough: together we assess the situation, agree the next steps and support you directly on site if needed.
