DOCUMENTED COST SAVINGS CASE STUDY

The Issue

A national corn milling facility was losing multiple shaft mount gearboxes due to product leaking out of their inferior mechanical packing seals and causing the gearboxes to fail. The CinchSeal Solution Motion Industries and CinchSeal presented the sanitary, split CinchSeal that could easily be installed on their existing equipment with no costly conversions and the CinchSeal was virtually maintenance free. This product replacement not only stopped product leakage that saved the gearboxes, but it also prevents damage to the rotating shafts on the mixers that mechanical packing causes. The Savings The customer realized major cost savings when the usage of the mechanical packing was eliminated. In 2014 they lost 4 gearboxes at a cost of $9,371 per unit. By replacing the packing seals to the superior CinchSeals, they saved $37,484. Additional cost savings include the elimination of unscheduled downtime, elimination of product lost, and the reduction of maintenance costs. The Conclusion This efficient and sanitary product conversion to CinchSeal is saving the plant over $37,000 annually.
