Food Processing Gearbox & Pump Repair
Mixers, conveyors and process pumps rebuilt with food-plant washdown and uptime in mind — with emergency pickup when a line is down.
Gearbox & Pump Repair for Food Processing
Rebuilt at our Rialto, CA shop.
Food processing lines run on tight schedules, and a failed mixer, conveyor drive or pump can spoil product and idle a whole shift. The equipment also faces daily washdowns, steam, food acids and strict hygiene expectations, so repairs have to hold up to cleaning as well as to production. American Gearbox Repair rebuilds food processing gearboxes and pumps at our shop in Rialto, California, serving processors across California and nationwide by pickup, delivery and shipped-in repair.
We work on the drives and pumps behind mixing, grinding, conveying, filling and packaging. Every unit is inspected and quoted before work starts, and rebuilt units are covered by our 24-month warranty.
Equipment We Repair in Food Processing
- Mixer and blender gearboxes — drives for ribbon, paddle, dough and batch mixers, rebuilt for heavy, variable loads and frequent washdown.
- Conveyor and elevator drives — gearboxes on belt, screw and bucket conveyors moving raw and finished product.
- Grinder and cutter drives — gearboxes on grinders, slicers and dicers where torque is high and stoppages are costly.
- Filling and packaging drives — gearboxes on fillers, sealers and packaging lines where smooth, consistent speed matters.
- Process and transfer pumps — centrifugal and positive-displacement pumps for product, CIP fluids and wash water.
- Hydraulic cylinders — cylinders on presses, lifts and packaging equipment, resealed and tested.
Common Failures We See
- Seal failure from washdown — water and cleaning chemicals getting past seals into gearboxes and bearings.
- Bearing corrosion — from moisture, steam and food acids in the plant environment.
- Gear wear from variable loads — heavy batches, sticky product and frequent starts and stops.
- Pump wear and loss of flow — from abrasive product, cavitation and worn seals and impellers.
- Lubrication contamination — water and cleaning agents diluting or washing out gearbox oil.
Repair & Rebuilding Services
- Complete gearbox rebuilding — teardown, cleaning, inspection and rebuild with new bearings, seals, gears and shafts as needed.
- Industrial pump repair — process, transfer and CIP pumps rebuilt, with seals and clearances suited to the service.
- Hydraulic cylinder repair — reseal, re-rod and re-hone for food-plant cylinders.
- Custom gear manufacturing — replacement gears cut when the original is worn, broken or no longer available.
- Preventive inspection advice — a plain report on what wore out and what to watch, so the next failure can be planned instead of sudden.
