In addition to fabricating new equipment, we support our customers by repairing items for which rework can extend economic life. In this case, our baskets are used in a pickle line to process heavy forgings. Over time the PVC coating is abraded and the side mesh deteriorates. By stripping the coating, replacing mesh, repairing framework as needed and re-coating, the service life can be doubled with approximately 40 – 50% of new cost invested.
