Renewal, or Bringing to New. We Are Specialists in Reducers

It happens that complex machines, production lines, and important processing systems use specially designed reducers, tailored to specific power and torque requirements. It happens that these reducers malfunction or break down completely, affecting the overall performance of the entire line in which they are installed.

It also happens that - due to the age of the design or the fact that they were custom-built - it is not possible to replace them with a brand new, ready-to-use reducer.

What to do? Simple: revamping, renewing the problematic reducer to restore it to its original efficiency.

Restoring a malfunctioning reducer can be a complex process. This requires specific technical expertise, design capabilities, and a team of specialized technical operators.

In this, we at Riduttori Italia bring great expertise to the field.

Diagnosis of the Problem:

From simple visual inspection (oil leaks, cracks…) it is necessary to move to an in-depth diagnosis to identify the symptoms of the malfunction (abnormal noises, vibrations, overheating, etc.).

We use diagnostic tools to check the correct functioning of the various parts and understand the existing problems.

Disassembly, Cleaning, Inspection of Internal Parts:

This is where the real work begins: through these actions, we directly verify which parts are deteriorated and causing the malfunction.

It is necessary to note the characteristics, measurements, and data of the housing, gears, shafts, bearings, spacers, and flanges in order to replace them. And original spare parts are not always available.

And if spare parts are not available?

Not only are spare parts sometimes unavailable, but there are also times when there are no technical drawings or reference tables: it is necessary to reconstruct important parts with precision and fidelity to the original to make them fit perfectly with the other parts of the reducer.

Measuring to produce technical and 3D drawings is fundamental.

Calculations are another delicate aspect: gears, shafts, and bearings - the moving parts of the reducer - interact and are interdependent. They work in harmony. Together they produce the effect of reducing speed and increasing torque: this is what a reducer does.

Reproducing all the elements, also applying technological updates to parts and assemblies is essential. Integrating new technologies, accurate adjustments, and calibrations (lubrication systems, sensors, more efficient materials…) helps to optimize the reducer's performance. More efficiency, greater reliability, longer operational life.

These are important improvements that make a difference.

Finally, reassemble and test the renewed reducer.

Here too, the difference is made by the experience and expertise of the technical operators.

The entire revamping process is perfected with functional testing to verify the perfect movement of the reducer according to the original specifications provided by the client.

We are specialists in intervening on reducers. Revamping is one of our specialties, the result of a qualified team perfected through experience gained in various fields of power reducer applications.
