Not exactly a normal Tuesday. 🪿

We found a baby goose outside on its own this morning, and Allison, our Customer Service Manager, immediately stepped in to help.

Towel, box, rehabber call and rescue mission complete!

The little guy is now safe and headed to a rehabber who will help care for him until he’s ready to head back out into the world.

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.

Simplifying your drive train is the fastest way to increase reliability. Contact us to get a quote for your next unit today! https://ow.ly/jknv50YS0EF

One of our scrap metal partners was struggling with a competitor's gearbox that developed casing cracks that had led to a total shear-off after just 6 months of service. After two identical failures with the same brand, they turned to Sumitomo for a permanent fix. By pairing our Cyclo® technology with a creative low-profile motor solution, we bypassed their space restrictions and provided a unit built for the long haul.

Stop replacing failures and start installing solutions. Reach out to your local Sumitomo representative to talk about your toughest applications. https://ow.ly/mTFu50YROuj
