A local sand and gravel producer was struggling with an obsolete chain-driven trommel drive that relied on hard-to-source bevel gears that needed to be custom made. Sumitomo was able to provide the solution they needed! We replaced the entire multi-component assembly with a single Sumitomo Bevel Buddybox®
The Solution: We replaced the entire multi-component assembly with a single Sumitomo Bevel Buddybox® that also eliminated four failure points (sprockets, gears, blocks, and shafts). And by adding our Invertek VFD, the customer now has full speed control and "soft start" capabilities, significantly extending the life of the motor.
