Congratulations to Alejandro Remy from Martin Bachmann Keller EIRL (Surquillo, Peru) for this outstanding finalist entry showcasing the CLIMAX FF5300 Fl**ge Facer used to machine an RTJ fl**ge at a natural gas power plant.

The 22-inch, 2500-class RTJ fl**ge was mounted on a high-pressure pipe and had sustained damage. After taking precise measurements from both the fl**ge and the new RTJ ring, the FF5300 was installed and the fl**ge was re-machined to OEM specifications in less than one day.

This project highlights efficient on-site fl**ge repair that restored a critical high-pressure connection quickly and accurately, minimizing downtime at the power plant.

Let’s celebrate the dedication and craftsmanship of on-site machinists and fabricators worldwide!
