Brock's unique drives engineering capabilities are complemented by good project management practices and skills that allow Brock to deliver major turnkey retrofit projects with zero production downtime. These projects have been executed on site by using only the customer’s regularly scheduled maintenance downturns, with absolutely NO dedicated downtime.
A couple of examples are:
- A 50-year old hot rolling mill was converted from manual operation to modernized automated operation. The project included the reheat furnace, rougher mill, coil car, and finishing mill sections, including AGC. This was a turnkey project.
- The Wall Street Journal's presses were re-powered from DC drives to AC drives without missing any printing time. The paper was printed every day in all 18 plants. This project was also turnkey.
