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 recoating, the service live can be doubled with approximately 40 – 50% of new cost invested.
