The aggregate sector frequently relies on Rapid Gear’s many skills

Rapid Gear provides services for the aggregate industry.

Businesses in several major industries turn to Rapid Gear for gearbox maintenance, repairs, or replacement, as well as open gearing and servicing. The company also has a widespread reputation for design, engineering, and machining abilities. Customers in mining, pulp and paper, the military, cranes and lifting, and more have received satisfaction from Rapid Gear’s talents. Yet another one of these important industries is the aggregate sector.

A number of big challenges

Rapid Gear has accumulated years’ worth of expertise in the aggregate industry’s needs. These companies face a number of big challenges in their everyday operations. For example, they often operate in environments rife with powder and dust, which can clog and grind away at seals and bearings. Aggregate machinery can be subject to frequent speed changes, which can lead to uneven wear and added stress on gearboxes, resulting in extra gearbox maintenance. High temperatures can also take a toll on this machinery, by breaking down lubricants and seals while reducing bearing life.

These are tough challenges, but Rapid Gear has what it takes to deal with them. Many organizations know that Rapid Gear is an ideal partner to trust for repairing leaking seals and gearboxes, or for replacing old or inadequate gearboxes, input cartridge bearings, or seals. Another important, convenient benefit is onsite inspection of gearing, to prevent damage or failure before it occurs.

One large investment that Rapid Gear has made is a very accurate measuring arm that is able to reverse engineer data from worn gears onsite that normally are very difficult to move and plot out with that data accurate gear information to manufacture new replacement parts.

As a member of the American Gear Manufacturers Association (or AGMA) for more than 30 years, Rapid Gear has a wealth of professional credibility when it comes to gearbox maintenance and repair. The company also complies with the strict standards of the ISO 9001:2008 rating and holds an active Canadian Controlled Goods certificate.

When aggregate customers turn to Rapid Gear, they know they can count on a company that has been at the forefront of building and designing individual gears, gearboxes, and special-purpose machinery since 1976. With access to world-class equipment and capabilities, and a 40,000-square-foot Kitchener, Ont. facility located near major highways and international airports, Rapid Gear can meet customer requires quickly and expertly.
