Many of the items on your machinery can be successfully refurbished and reworked to be returned to you in an as new condition at a fraction of the cost of having to buy a new part. Components from the whole range of machinery produced by CarnaudMetalbox Engineering both past and present can benefit from this service, below are some examples of applicable parts. For refurbished parts and parts that require reworking we have developed a fast track system to ensure any work is carried out in the fastest possible time.

On arrival here in Shipley the parts are inspected and a rework form is raised detailing the exact needs of each individual component. At this point the customer is informed of the work required and the details of cost and expected delivery times. On approval the parts are issued and the components despatched back to the customer by their preferred route or fastest appropriate means

Components for refurbishment or reworking include:
Clutches and Brakes, Bodymaker Crankshafts, Quills, Main Bearings, Primary Connecting Rods, Yoke Slides, Jackshaft, Pushrod, Beading Rails, Control Rings, Guides, Primary and Secondry Housings, Front Hold Down Front Pistons, Air Spring Housing, Beader Carrier End Plates.

If you have a component that may be applicable for either refurbishment or reworking, please contact either Andy Mawson Sales Office Manager, Shipley or for the Americano Paul J Orsino III Business Manager
.

Clutch and Brake.
The refurbishment of the clutch and brake involves further inspection by the manufacturer and then refurbishing to suit their inspection report. This can involve the replacement of the clutch plates and piston rings along with the resetting of the air gap to the original manufacturers specification. the unit is then tested, prior to despatch. <TOP>

Crankshafts.
After initial inspection here in Shipley but prior to any work being carried out on the crankshaft it is sent away for analysis to ensure that it passes a surface cracktest. If it passes this inspection the crankshaft is brought back to the original specification by chroming the diameters and then re-machining to the latest specification. <TOP>

Quills.
The Quill typically has the existing bushes bored out and new blank bushes inserted. These bushes are then machined in-situ to an as new standard and to the latest specification. <TOP>

Main Bearings.
The Main Bearings typically follow the same route as the Quill above in that the existing bushes are bored out and new blank bushes inserted. These bushes are then machined in-situ to an as new standard and to the latest specification. <TOP>

Primary Connecting Rods.
The Primary Connecting Rods also follow the same route as the Quill above in that the existing bushes bored out and new blank bushes inserted, in most cases there will also be the need for the caps to be replaced as well. Both the bushes and caps are then machined in-situ to an as new standard and to the latest specification. <TOP>

Yoke Slides (Padded Version).
For the refurbishment of the Padded Version of the Yoke Slide then the pads are replaced with new as are the pin, bush and the Lee jets. The padded version can at this stage be replaced by the newer padless version described in the Technical Bulletin TB-B3/B4-006 or TB5000-025. <TOP>

Jackshaft.
Jackshaft refurbishment's may be required due to gearbox seal erosion of the Jackshafts. This erosion has to be machined out and then the surfaces chromed back. Final machining then brings them back to size and to the latest specification. <TOP>

Pushrod.
The refurbishment of the Pushrods is a similar operation to that of the Jackshaft above. The Pushrods can become scored on the bearing surfaces. This scoring is ground out and then the affected areas chromed back. Final machining then brings the surfaces back to size and to the latest specification. <TOP>

Beading Rails.
Beading rails can be reworked to recover the existing profile for both the 80 and 8000 Beaders. This is achieved by chroming the back of the beading rail and re-machining the profile. At this stage the beading rail can be titanium nitride coated to further increase the life of the beading rail and reduce pick up. <TOP>

Control Rings.
Control Rings can be re-worked to take advantage of flange diameter changes. This is dependant on the existing control rings and if there is enough material available for machining. <TOP>

Guides
Can guides for most machines can be re-worked. This can be as part of a machine speed up or as part an overhaul. The guides can be either chromed or ceramic coated and then finally polished to the final specification. <TOP>

Primary and Secondry Housings.
The Primary and Secondry Housings typically have their existing bushes bored out and new blank bushes inserted. These bushes are then machined in-situ and the whole assembly is returned to an as new standard and to the latest specification. <TOP>

Front Hold Down Front Pistons
The Front Hold Down Front Pistons typically have their existing bushes bored out and new blank bushes inserted. These bushes are then machined in-situ and the whole assembly is returned to an as new standard and to the latest specification. <TOP>

Air Spring Housing.
The Air Spring Housing typically has the existing bushes bored out and new blank bushes inserted. These bushes are then machined in-situ and the whole assembly is returned to an as new standard and to the latest specification. <TOP>

Carrier End Plates.
The Carrier End Plates are ground to remove any ridges and also to reinstate the radius's. Once re-ground to specification the end plates can then be ceramic coated. <TOP>
