Lifting magnets can be repaired and remanufactured
Lifting magnets move tubing, coils and plate in steel mills. Lifting magnets move scrap in scrap yards. However a lifting magnet is used, lifting magnets are designed to live in extreme hot and extreme cold conditions with constant exposure to shock. Do the lifting magnets you use in your industry provide weak productivity? Dropped loads? […]
Choo.Choo. CMT repairs railroad motors, gearboxes and lifting magnets
Railroad motors operate in harsh conditions – wind, snow, heat and rain – in order to get shipments all across the country. Railroad traction motors drive axles and are designed in many sizes. Diesel-driven generators are also found in the railroad industry. At railroad yards, there are 360-degree rotation motors or winch drives for lifting […]
From rolls to tires, CMT repairs electric motors in rubber industry
The rubber processing industry has plenty of electric motors that drive mixers, blenders, kneaders, roll mills and tire presses. These processes require very high torque to produce a finished product. In the rubber industry, the “carbon black” atmosphere causes operating issues with large motors. CMT can repair any electric motors, industrial gear reducers and process […]
Magnet needs a lift? CMT repairs lifting magnets
A lifting magnet picks up or lifts metal objects. Most lifting magnets are used in steel mills, scrap yards, loading docks, ship yard and foundries. An industrial lift magnet has magnetic properties in its coil and is usually attached to a crane. The crane moves the magnet above an object and the magnet is energized […]
Motor problems? CMT can help
AC induction motors are the most popular design used in industry. The incoming power for an AC induction motor can come from either shore power or variable frequency drives. An AC induction motor is made up of core iron, stator winding, insulation and frame. CMT can test any AC induction motor components with stator core […]
CMT does generator and alternator repairs
Generators and alternators convert one form of energy into another (also called electricity). Many generators and alternators are diesel fuel powered, natural gas powered or coal powered. Pictured is a 2000 KVA/1600 KW alternator that is driven by a digester gas fueled engine in a landfill. This particular alternator was used in a landfill […]
Two varnish processes available for motors: Dip and Bake and Vacuum Pressure Impregnation
There are two available varnish processes for electric motors: Dip and Bake immerses a motor into a tank of varnish. Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (or VPI) is a process that places the motor into a chamber with a controlled atmosphere. The dip and bake method develops a hydro static pressure that dissipates many air voids and […]
CMT already geared up for any industrial gearbox needs
CMT’s gearbox rebuild capabilities extend to various power transmission assemblies. This rotary arm shaft is used in the production of pipe, and has been refurbished by CMT. There are five individual gear assemblies attached to the main shaft. All were carefully rebuilt using new bearings and shafts. The gear assemblies were then assembled and aligned […]
