Mill Drive Gearbox Repair & Rebuild

Repair pricing, failure modes, and turnaround for mill drive gearboxes — or sell yours for cash.

Mill Drive gearbox repair & rebuild

Mill drive gearboxes — ball mills, SAG mills, rolling mills, sugar mills — are among the largest gear sets in industry, and downtime costs are measured in thousands per hour.

We arrange complete teardown, failure analysis, and rebuild to OEM spec for mill drive gearboxes of every major brand — including Falk, Philadelphia Gear, Lufkin, Flender, David Brown, Farrel. Typical rebuild cost runs 30–60% of a new unit, with 5–14 day standard turnaround and 24–72 hour emergency service, against new-unit lead times that often stretch 16–30 weeks. Every quote comes with the full picture: standard shop price, our in-house price, replacement cost, and a cash offer for the unit as-is.

And if the numbers say replace instead of repair, we don't walk away — we buy failed, surplus, and decommissioned mill drive gearboxes for cash, any condition, nationwide pickup. Even a seized unit carries value in its castings, alloy gearing, and copper windings.

💵 Have a failed or surplus mill drive gearbox? We'll quote a repair AND a cash buyout — you pick the smarter number. Call (412) 557-4495.
