Eriez has expanded its Eriez Service and Repair Center, as part of a recently completed 38,000-sq. ft expansion at its Eriez Wager Road facility in Erie, Pennsylvania.
Additional new space is dedicated to a larger research and development (R&D) area to support new global product development programs, a state-of-the-art electronics lab and an advanced Recycling Test Center.
John Klinge, Eriez director of strategic sales-aftermarket, said the company made significant investments in updating equipment for the upgraded Eriez Service and Repair Center, including high-capacity cranes, controls, lifting assets, and hand tools. “With our supersized facility, we can repair even the biggest manufacturing equipment, like giant suspended electromagnets,” he said.
“It all comes down to turnaround speed,” Klinge said. “Better equipment and more space allow us to complete maintenance and repair work more quickly. Customers are assured their equipment will be back in operation in minimal time. We always emphasize that customers complete critical routine service in a proactive fashion. We can predict when equipment or parts require repair or replacement. While repairs can often be done in the field, sometimes that is not a feasible option.” He adds, “Proactive equipment repair practices are essential for workplace safety and optimal productivity.”
The fully staffed service center employs trained technicians, and the machining, fabricating and welding capabilities necessary to rebuild all Eriez equipment including eddy current separators, drum magnets, wet drum separators, suspended electromagnets, fluid recycling systems and more.
