New Universal Drive Sets Turnaround Records

From Philadelphia Gear Corporation
 

 

Industrial WaterWorld June, 2002 — A new Universal Cooling Tower Drive (UCT) is meeting the challenge of replacing cooling tower drives and spare parts in record time. The standard drive installation turnaround can run from six to 10 weeks, but turn around on the installation of the UCT drive can take as little as 24 hours. Additionally, Philadelphia Gear engineered its versatile new UCT drive to replace virtually any brand cooling tower drive.

The quick turnaround times are primarily due to the fact that the main gear set is not touched after it is manufactured and stocked. Only the smaller change gears need to be installed at the time the unit is ordered. By having to maintain far fewer parts on the shelf, and not having to manufacture individual sets of main gears, it is possible to provide the units in a fraction of the previously required time. The simplified manufacturing process means significant cost reduction without sacrificing quality.
