Extreme operating conditions along with significant erosion caused the shaft on this cast iron impeller to snap. The broken shaft was removed and a replacement was press fit in place.

These two connecting rods came to us in an emergency situation. OEM parts were available but at a 10-14 week lead-time. Our customer (Automotive Components Supplier) was back in production less than 3 days later.

MLS Machine Shop performs many repairs to various types of equipment for the aggregate industry. This example is a cracked shock mount from a Terex earthmoving dump truck. Crusher and swing jaw repairs are also a specialty.
