Brevini repair service keeps the big wheels spinning-€¦
13/01/2011 Brevini UK Ltd
Brevini UK provide a maintenance service to some of the UK's most loved Theme Parks.As the summer season draws to a close, it has reached the time of year when ride operators and theme park maintenance managers need to consider the best options for their rides' drive systems. Brevini is working with some of the UK's top attractions, including Pleasure Beach, Blackpool and Cleethorpes' Pleasure Island, to repair and replace worn gearboxes on rides with minimum fuss and maximum results. These include both heavy duty bevel-helical gearboxes and compact, high-reduction planetary gearboxes, both of which Brevini UK is an expert in specifying, supplying and repairing.
As with any machinery that is operating within the public domain, theme park and fairground rides need to be maintained to an extremely high standard. Rides are often subjected to high stress loads and external conditions which, coupled with regular use, can mean that regular maintenance is required. As the end of the season approaches many maintenance managers will be thinking about the steps that need to be taken to ensure their rides meet the strict safety guidelines next year.
Brevini UK is one of the world's foremost manufacturers of power transmission solutions; as such its level of expertise with regards to gearbox maintenance and replacements is exceptional. Brevini is able to service gearboxes using OE parts to rejuvenate them to their original specification, or can engineer solutions to replace gearboxes with new products that fit within the original drive's footprint and improve performance and efficiency.
Two theme parks that Brevini has recently worked with are Pleasure Beach, Blackpool and Pleasure Island in Cleethorpes. In both instances a service engineer visited the site to inspect each gearbox individually. He was then able to ascertain which drives would benefit from maintenance and which would be more cost effective to replace.
Dave Brown, Brevini Sales Manager, comments: "Our repair service is in the unique position of having the support and wealth of knowledge that comes from decades of experience of manufacturing gearboxes. We are able to identify whether a drive needs to be repaired or replaced depending on its use and the conditions it is subjected to. Our service engineers are able to identify components that require service or, where necessary, design a whole new drive solution tailored to the parameters of the application."
Due to Brevini's commercial purchasing power it is able to commission OE replacement parts for most maintenance work at extremely competitive rates. When it is recommended that a drive be replaced Brevini's wide range of products means that in most cases it is possible to engineer a solution that will be more durable and have greater efficiency whilst fitting within the original drive's footprint - meaning no further re-engineering is required.
Dave Brown adds: "Our product catalogue includes planetary gears, which offer high reduction ratios with compactness and efficiency, as well as larger heavy duty helical and bevel-helical units. We also offer the unique solution of combining the two to create hybrid designs that deliver the best of both worlds."
