Vibe.FX Offers In-Situ Solutions
Vibe.FX is often called upon to provide repair solutions which we complete in-situ, where our competitors require having your rotating equipment shipped to their repair facility. Our team can carry out the required repairs on site at your location saving cost and unnecessary downtime. After a thorough inspection is completed, a full report of the machine’s condition will be drawn up and provided.
When repairing a piece of equipment to as new condition, the following points are addressed
- Overall condition
- List of parts to be replaced
- Estimate of time and cost of work needed
- List of parts suitable for re-use or refurbishment
- Detailed examination of all critical parts and their condition
Grouting & Base Repairs
Foundation and mounting systems under rotating equipment will often deteriorate over time. When this happens, the dynamic forces or deflections in the system can exceed permitted levels. This can necessitate very costly foundation (or mounting) system repairs and re-grouting requirements should your facility accommodate the necessary downtime.
At Vibe.FX we repair the foundation and mounting systems. Alternative approaches (such as shimming) that don’t require machine downtime to repair (or renew) mounting systems have recently become popular and proven successful.
