As the only Bosch Rexroth Certified Service Centre of Competence in Africa, Hytec offers OEMs peace of mind with a mobile gearbox repair facility that is guaranteed to comply with strict manufacturer standards.
Although the actual repair of a gearbox is not a lengthy process, the availability of spares and the waiting period to acquire stock impact heavily on the period it takes to deliver a repaired gearbox to its owner. In some cases, this can take up to a year. Hytec remanufactures the gearbox completely and no chroming or welding of old parts is done. In addition, strict inspection of all parts for hairline cracks is part of the service.
The repairs can be carried out either on-site, especially in the case of very large or heavy gearboxes, or at Hytec’s facility in Johannesburg.
“Customers who use our repair service are guaranteed that no shortcuts are taken, that only genuine parts as specified by the manufacturer are used and that the gearboxes are subjected to rigorous inspection and function testing, including leak and pressure tests, before they leave our premises. We offer a one-year guarantee on all repairs undertaken. In addition, we document all repairs for future reference and also provide feedback to gearbox manufacturers for improvement of their products,” says André Lindeque, engineering manager.
Hytec technicians have controlled access to Bosch Rexroth documentation via the Internet and they receive on-the-job training from German experts when needed. Representatives of Hytec also pay regular visits to gearbox manufacturers overseas to stay abreast of any new developments in this field.
