European repair centre for couplings

These couplings are widely used for demanding turbo machinery power transmission applications including, gas compression, power generation, and marine propulsion systems. Steve Broomhead, Business Unit Manager Bibby's Turboflex Division: "This appointment is good news for users of Ameridrives couplings in Europe; it means that damaged but repairable diaphragm couplings will no longer have to be sent back to the USA for repair. This will mean a faster turn-around time, which is critical in the demanding applications where they are used. "Ameridrives is our sister company within the Altra Industrial Motion Group," said Broomhead. "Both companies understand each other's products implicitly. This means that Bibby is ideally placed to provide repair facilities, not least because we have years of experience in the repair of all types of couplings, but also because we have invested in all the equipment necessary to ensure that our repairs fully comply with Ameridrives original standards."
