Infeed Chain Repair

admin

Well We are part way through shut down at my place of work. Most of it was black dirty back braking work. Well today I had to fix up the infeed chain. This chain pulls the sawdust up into the infeed secion of the boiler. All I had to do was weld on some tabs that broke off during jams and replace some flights. The problem is that the tabs need to be welded on both side in order for them to take the beating. You will be able to tel from the pic's that this is not a easy job. And I thought other poeple got all the fun jobs.Miller DVI2Lincoln Precision Tig 225Thermodynamics Cutmaster 38Everything else needed.

Reply:Those pics remind me of working on the portable rock crushers. They also have tight spots repairs are needed in.
