Emergency Services

Emergencies we've encountered

• Pressing a Screw Out of a Barrel
• Honing Service
  If the screw and the barrel start to gall, the screw is pushed up the side of the barrel and begins to catch. The barrel picks up pieces of metal off the screw, the friction and heat weld. If you're lucky enough to pull the screw from the barrel, you can bring the screw to us and we will repair the screw
• Broken Flight
• Dropped/Lost Item in Hopper
