Our repairs services encompass electric motors, pumps, fans and gearboxes. In addition, we provide elements of conventional machining.
Our experienced team diagnose failure modes in both AC and DC machines to assist customers to further prevent repetitive breakdowns.
On receipt, each motor is dismantled, inspected and tested with all faults being documented. The overall condition of the motor is recorded with the use of digital images.
The repairs will always include a detailed examination of all critical parts and their respective condition. A list of required replacement parts will be drawn up. All bearings and seals are replaced in all cases of motor repair. We then estimate the time and cost of the work needed and communicate it to the customer.
All motor rewinds are conducted in house with our fully equipped rewind shop. Every motor rewind is tested at every stage to ensure that the motor will be providing optimum performance once the repair has been completed.
Solent Rewinds work with industrial processing companies and facilities management companies to provide repairs to process and plant room equipment.
As with all other rotating equipment, on receipt of the pump we inspect and record the condition of the unit, including taking digital images of the critical parts, as well as wear or related damage.
The pump is then machined to ensure components create the necessary internal tolerances required within the pump. Bearings and mechanical seals are automatically replaced.
Impellers, wear rings, shafts, sleeves and castings normally can be reclaimed and salvaged, and the impellers and rotors dynamically balanced to ensure that the pump characteristics are maintained and will operate at optimal performance levels in application.
Reliable fan operation for both cooling and extraction is critical for many businesses. Solent Rewinds are an experienced repairer of all types of fans, from large industrial units down to small fan deck sets which are used to achieve a specified airflow where space limitations exist.
On receipt of the fan we disassemble and clean and inspect each individual component including the integrity of the casing and impellers. We will replace or repair shafts and shaft components and can fully repair the machines that drive the blowers or fans.
For fan decks, we have access to many fractional horsepower electric motors, fan wheels, fan blades and capacitors for quick turnaround.
We carry out gearbox inspections, repairs and rebuilds as part of our wider rotating equipment capability. Each unit is stripped, checked and assessed so that worn or damaged components can be identified before rebuild.
Where practical, parts are refurbished or replaced and the gearbox is reassembled and tested to support reliable operation once returned to service.
We are able to provide some elements of conventional machining such as turning, milling and drilling. This enables us to undertake immediate repairs to worn or damaged components or produce replacement parts.
Solent Rewinds have been specializing in the repair and rewind of various types of refrigeration equipment over many years. This includes repairs to motors used by Transicold Carrier, Leroy Somer, Ziehl Abegg, EBM, Siemens and Thermo King.
This also includes semi-hermetic stator rewinds. We also rewind other refrigeration motors such as compressor stators, condenser / evaporator fans, carrier double ended stand-by motors and water jacket motors used on Maxima units.
A drum motor is a conveyor drive where the motor, gear drive and all moving parts are enclosed inside the drum. The motor and gears operate in a sealed oil bath ensuring proper lubrication and cooling.
Solent Rewinds experience with the food industry and theme parks has led to them having vast experience in the repair of motorised drum or conveyor rollers, irrespective of brand.
Our electro-mechanical repair capability supports many Facility Management companies. Besides our workshop repairs, we can also support our FM customers through site work.
This mainly involves the removal of rotating equipment from plant rooms or air handling units and re-commissioning following the repair. Where possible, we will repair in situ.
Solent Rewinds assist our customers to find repair solutions on a range of electronic products. We are distributors for Toshiba invertors and can provide other makes if required.
We keep a large stock of new motors from 0.37kW to 15kW in both 2 pole and 4 pole speeds offering all three mounting options. On request we will change the mounting type to suit your equipment.
