Today’s photo highlights a refurbished tire and trunnion wheel.
Rotary drum tires and trunnion wheels can become worn over time, resulting in a variety of unwanted characteristics such as pitting, spalling and timing marks. If the wear is left untreated, the weight of the drum can become unevenly distributed and can eventually affect other drum components.
To avoid this potential damage and operational downtime, FEECO’s Customer Service Engineers offer a grinding service to resolve tire and trunnion wear. The process works by grinding down the surface of the tire and trunnion wheel faces to like-new condition. Reconditioning these surfaces ensures even weight distribution, allowing the drum to run at its utmost efficiency.
FEECO’s aftermarket engineering team is highly skilled in refurbishing these load bearing surfaces, and can travel directly to your facility to perform the grinding. To learn more about tire and trunnion wheel grinding, contact us today!
