- A heavy chain guard and pass-through shaft made maintenance and replacement difficult.
- The solution
- A custom MBG with a removable front panel, top hat extension, and lifting handles fit the existing equipment without disassembly.
Power generation
Better access to a vertical belt drive.
- The challenge
