APRON CONVEYORS AND HYDRAPULPERS
Apron Conveyors: both new machines and complete rebuilds. We specialize in removal and replacement of these apron conveyor components: new rails, impact bars, sprockets, shafts, and chain, AD Style, Z Pan style and Piano Hinge style, etc. Most systems can be completely rebuilt on site; while others require some prefabrication. Our specialization allows us to identify necessary replacement components and more importantly what can be re-used, saving your mill money. Most all rebuild and repair work can be done within a normal annual outage.

CASCADE EVAPORATORS
Klockner Group has been supervising Cascade Evaporator reworks for over 30 years. We have rebuilt over 80 cascades since the company’s origination. The tube sheets are precisely cut for perfect alignment and smooth tube installation. Each tube is also plugged and leak tested in a tube testing tank to insure the integrity of the welds. Hub bolts are custom manufactured to exceed the original requirements.
We can manufacture the stock bushings on most Cascades as well as bushing housings. We sell full sets of hub bolts and washers and nuts. We have the expertise and capability to produce any shaft and hub assembly. We have assembled the entire cascade wheels in house and on site.
Klockner employs field service technicians to diagnose any problem areas. Let us quote a full inspection to help your mill keep your Cascade Evaporator up and running at full capacity.
We have drawing for most Cascade Evaporators build in the last half century. We can also reverse engineer your Cascade to get parts manufactured if drawings are missing.
