A national distribution warehouse was experiencing repeated problems on various conveyor ship lines with a Regal competitor’s worm gearboxes. The gearboxes were leaking oil due to various seal failures and subsequently dripped oil on the merchandise. This nuisance caused maintenance personnel to shut down the lines, replace the gearboxes and mandate drip pans in each gearbox location. On average, maintenance personnel were replacing 35 gearboxes a month, costing the warehouse over $18,500 a month in unplanned downtime, not including the cost of gearboxes and maintenance.
Solution
Regal engineers recommended the Hub City® HERA High Efficiency Right Angle gear drive. During the interchange from the competitor’s units to the HERA gear drives, it was found that the warehouse was using a 2HP motor that was oversized for the application. Therefore, the Regal engineers also recommended that they downsize to a 1.5HP motor. This change on each motor resulted in an energy savings of $80,000 annually. The HERA units have been up and running with no issues for 28 months and counting. They have saved the warehouse over $300,000 with plans to implement the HERA solution on their remaining 50+ miles of conveyor lines and at other locations in North America!
