Situation:

Crane Composites is the leading supplier of fiber-reinforced composite products. Composite is used in virtually every industry- from wall and ceiling building products to truck and trailer products. Because their customers expect the highest quality products to be delivered to them on-time, Crane Composites’ manufacturing facilities cannot afford any unexpected equipment downtime.  Thus, when the air heaters at Crane Composites’ Florence, Kentucky manufacturing facility became dated, upgrades were necessary.

Solution:

The Florence, KY Electrical Design Maintenance Supervisor, Bill Wirtley, looked to Stelter & Brinck to upgrade all five of Crane Composites’ air heaters.

Results:

Wirtley states that, “Because of S&B’s upgrades, [Crane Composites] equipment is more reliable!†The facility also has “considerably less downtime; S&B’s upgrades decreased showdowns and downtime by over 70%!†Not only has this increase in production time lead to on-time delivery to customers, but according to Wirtley, “S&B’s equipment has considerably cut maintenance expenses†and also “helped meet EPA standardsâ€.
