Emergency breakdown? No problem for the Ace Metalworx team. 💪
We were called out to one of our long-term customers after a major failure on a 150-tonne silo flow feed system that keeps product moving through the factory. With production down, time was critical.
After removing the unit and carrying out a full inspection, we diagnosed:
🔧 Collapsed bearings
🔧 Shaft worn beyond tolerance
🔧 Failed flight arms
🔧 Multiple additional mechanical issues
Our team immediately got to work — 3D scanning the damaged components, creating detailed drawings, and manufacturing replacement parts to get everything back to spec.
Once complete, we fully reassembled and reinstalled the system, getting the factory back online and production running again with minimal downtime.
Another successful turnaround and another happy customer. ✅
