Spare parts
Our original drawings, documentation and long experience in the manufacture and specification of
quality spare parts can help ensure optimum spare part management even when it comes to spare
parts for older legacy control systems. We have an exacting process to review your specific equipment
needs and to verify that the spare parts we provide match your requirements. Additionally, as a
one-source supplier we can purchase all your necessary OEM and third-party items.
Troubleshooting
Service consultants assist in troubleshooting of cement plant production equipment, including electrical
or control equipment problems. Urgent troubleshooting can usually be done at short notice. We always
provide a root cause analysis and often propose new ideas or technologies to prevent reoccurrences.
