Why give Pangea a defined conveyor package?
One team across removal, repair, replacement and reinstatement
A replacement screw or conveyor component has to pass through existing steelwork, supports, bearings, drive interfaces and often a restricted route. Splitting those activities between disconnected teams can leave the site managing the gaps.
Pangea takes an agreed mechanical package through a controlled sequence, with one lead coordinating the work and its interfaces.
- Initial condition and agreed removal sequence
- Components dismantled and interfaces inspected
- Body, trough, support and steelwork repairs
- Replacement items installed and aligned
- Guards and mechanical interfaces reinstated
- Outstanding concerns and handover status
Build understanding before the shutdown begins
Plan the route as carefully as the replacement
Early review establishes the condition of the equipment and the practical route through which it will be dismantled, lifted and reinstated.
- Equipment type, duty and installed arrangement
- Body, trough, supports, wear, leakage and build-up
- Previous repairs, drive and bearing condition
- Removal route, working access and crane requirements
- Replacement dimensions, storage and handling
- Fabrication, welding, isolation and cleaning requirements
- Drawings, inspection stages and client hold points
Complete removal and replacement scope
Mechanical and fabrication capability around the whole exchange
Pangea can manage the connected work required to remove a worn assembly and return the equipment mechanically complete.
- Isolation checks, guarding removal and material clearance
- Controlled dismantling and separation of interfaces
- Removal of the existing conveyor or screw assembly
- Inspection of bodies, troughs, supports and mounting points
- Cutting, welded repairs and replacement steelwork
- Fabrication required for access or reinstatement
- Lifting, positioning and installation of replacement components
- Drive-interface reinstatement, alignment and final checks
More than exchanging the screw
The replacement must work with the structure and interfaces that remain
A new screw can only be installed successfully if the existing body, supports, access route and drive arrangement are understood. Worn steelwork, previous repairs or unexpected interference can change both the work sequence and the finished alignment.
Pangea treats the repair, lift and installation plan as one connected mechanical package.
A disciplined replacement process
Defined stages from preparation to handback
Agree scope and responsibility
Confirm the equipment, replacement components, work boundaries, inspection stages and required outcome.
Record the condition and route
Document the installed assembly, access, lifting path and mechanical interfaces before dismantling begins.
Dismantle and inspect
Remove the agreed components in a controlled sequence and assess the exposed body, trough, supports and interfaces.
Complete agreed repairs
Carry out approved fabrication, welding and mechanical repairs before the replacement is committed to position.
Lift, position and install
Control the lift and mechanical installation as one sequence, then align and reinstate the connected interfaces.
Inspect and hand back
Complete final checks, record outstanding issues and confirm the mechanical handover status.
Clear records for the work package
The reporting process provides a practical account of what was found, changed and returned to service.
- Initial condition and removal-route records
- Findings at bodies, troughs, supports and drive interfaces
- Steelwork, fabrication and welded repairs completed
- Replacement components and installation checks
- Client inspection and approval points
- Outstanding concerns and handover status
Technical leadership throughout the work
Pangea's technical lead coordinates the mechanical sequence, lifting and repair interfaces, supports the crew and keeps the responsible site contact informed of findings and decisions.
Working safely within your site controls
Conveyor work can involve trapped material, stored energy, heavy components, elevated or restricted access and hot work. Pangea plans those interfaces and operates through the client's permit, isolation and lifting arrangements.
- Confirmed isolation and material-clearance requirements
- Planned access, lifting route and exclusion zones
- Controlled hot-work and fabrication interfaces
- Defined inspection stages and mechanical handback
Three ways to work with Pangea
Defined replacement package
Give Pangea responsibility for an agreed conveyor or screw package, including its mechanical and fabrication interfaces.
Additional skilled labour
Mechanical and fabrication personnel work within a plan, supervision and reporting process managed by your team.
Pre-shutdown equipment review
Review the installed equipment, access route and likely repair requirements before the maintenance window.
Scope and technical interfaces
Clear responsibilities support better work
Pangea specialises in the mechanical removal, repair, installation, alignment and verification of conveyors, screws and their immediate interfaces.
Process-capacity design, material-flow analysis, electrical and control work, structural certification and specialist metallurgy remain with the client's responsible specialists unless separately agreed.
