Support Achievements and Case Studies:

Power generation equipment (reducer)
for electric power company A

  • #Risk Reduction
  • #Energy Saving
  • #Maintenance Free
  • #No Foundation Modification Needed

Convert maintenance costs to investment costs! After replacement, maintenance-free and energy-saving!

electric power company Power generation equipment
Situation

After the Great East Japan Earthquake, with all nuclear power plants halted, an old reducer for pulverizing mill drive had to operate at full capacity, leading to high maintenance costs.

The lack of load conditions, gear strength, and fitting dimensions made replacement consideration difficult.

Actions

Measured the existing stored parts, used past experience and knowledge to determine design conditions, proposed and executed a replacement without foundation modification, and achieved maintenance-free operation and significant power savings (12-14% reduction).

Steelmaking equipment (reducer)
for steelmaking company B

  • #Equipment Restoration
  • #Increased Strength + Shortened Delivery Time
  • #Co-creation with Customers
  • #No Need for Foundation Modification Work

Bold Response to a Major Incident in the Customer's International Case Avoids Damage Compensation!

steelmaking Steelmaking equipment
Situation

At an overseas steel plant, the hoisting reducer of critical equipment broke down due to insufficient strength in the existing reducer manufacturer's product.

The local government imposed a deadline, and failure to meet it would result in damages.

The existing manufacturer's response was uncooperative.

Actions

Collaborated with the customer to develop a product with approximately double the capacity within the fixed dimensions, delivered two large units in just over four months, meeting the deadline.

Chemical manufacturing equipment (reducer)
for chemical manufacturer C

  • #Reproduction Of Damaged Parts
  • #Emergency Casing Repair
  • #Fastest Recovery
  • #Enhanced Preventive Maintenance

Achieved the fastest recovery from equipment failure during full production!

chemical manufacturer Chemical manufacturing equipment (reducer)
Situation

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for powdered soap production machinery increased 5-6 times.

A sudden gear device damage caused a complete shutdown, and the original overseas manufacturer was unresponsive, while other companies avoided giving a clear delivery date.

Actions

Discussed the fastest recovery plan, categorized components for reuse, repair, and reproduction based on damage levels, created proposals, and executed them with customer approval.

Met the customer’s need for urgent recovery by significantly shortening the initially agreed delivery period.

Steelmaking equipment (reducer)
for steelmaking company D

  • #Speed Up Planning
  • #Direct Consultation With Users
  • #Performance Improvement
    Through Equipment Modification

Directly realizing the functions desired by users!

steelmaking company Steelmaking equipment (reducer)
Situation

For productivity improvement, a steel manufacturer (company D) needed to update a reducer installed via a plant manufacturer for speeding up the rolling line.

Actions

Company D identified us from the nameplate of the existing product and contacted us directly. After obtaining permission from the plant manufacturer, we held direct meetings with company D, proceeded with planning, and proposed various options integrating the latest technology, achieving the desired results quickly and economically.

Seawater desalination equipment pump (reducer)
for pump manufacturer E

  • #Achieving Shortest Delivery Time
  • #Reverse Engineering From Delivery Date
  • #Pursuing Possible Solutions

Solving impossible problems with customer-driven solutions!

pump manufacturer Seawater desalination equipment pump (reducer)
Situation

Pump manufacturer E received a large order for seawater desalination pumps for overseas markets. Meeting the delivery schedule required expanding test equipment, which used relatively large high-speed reducers. Although the shortest normal delivery time was eight months, the target delivery time was set to 4.5 months.

Actions

Prioritized delivery, identified the presence of spare gears, and used them to achieve further shortened delivery time of three months.

Wind power generation equipment (increaser)
for wind power business F

  • #Japan's Only Wind Turbine Gearbox Manufacturer
  • #Countermeasures Reflecting
    Presumed Damage Causes

Identified true causes of failure and challenged comprehensive stable operation!

wind power business Wind power generation equipment (increaser)
Situation

A wind power business operator using primarily foreign-made wind turbines faced frequent damage in the increasers due to issues believed to be related to surrounding design rather than the gear manufacturing.

Actions

Designed and applied countermeasure parts to address these issues, reused some casing and planetary carriers, re-manufactured and reassembled the damaged internal gears, and restored operation.
