Why APPI:  

JC Steele & Sons, Inc., a leading manufacturer of heavy clay and materials processing equipment, approached Allied Power Products, Inc. (APPI) with a unique challenge. They needed a winch system to pull sections of their extrusion machines out on a rail and bearing system for periodic maintenance and repair.

Jody Robinson, an engineer at JC Steele & Sons, identified two primary requirements for their ideal solution:

1. Compact size to fit within their existing machinery setup
2. Minimal maintenance needs to reduce downtime and operational costs

After discussing these requirements, APPI and JC Steele & Sons collaborated to find the perfect solution: the Columbia WG11000-4A17-L-23 AC Electric Strap Winch.

Key features of this extrusion machine winch include:

1. A strap drum conversion, eliminating the issues associated with wire rope in short-distance, frequent load/unload scenarios
2. Quick mount brackets for easy installation and removal during maintenance
3. High line pull capacity of 11,000 pounds, suitable for moving heavy machinery components
4. Slow line speed of 7.7 feet per minute, allowing for precise control during maintenance operations

By choosing APPI’s Columbia WG11000 AC unit, JC Steele & Sons significantly improved their maintenance capabilities for their extrusion machines. The winch’s compact design and low maintenance requirements perfectly aligned with their needs, streamlining their maintenance processes and increasing overall efficiency.

Why APPI:  When braided ropes are spliced it is critical the spice be pulled under high tension to set it and prevent it from unraveling.  Sampson, one of the leading suppliers of braided rope in the country, uses multiple Columbia AC electric winches for this task in both their Lafayette, LA and Ferndale, WA manufacturing facilities.

David A Cameron, maintenance supervisor, at the Lafayette, LA plant says “The winches are performing quite nicely.  We have three of your winches installed here; this one and two 10K lb. winches.  We have the same type of application at our Ferndale, Washington facility.”

Why APPI:  Over the course of the Cleveland Indians’ season, approximately 2 million people will make their way to Progressive Field to take in a game.  While there, they will discard millions of hot dog wrappers, hamburger trays, beverage cups, popcorn boxes and countless napkins into the trash collection system at the stadium.

When the trash reaches the compactors, that’s where Joseph Amberik has specified Columbia WG7500 AC electric waste compactor winches to pull the dumpsters back into position after the bales have been picked up by trucks.  He’s been using them for many years now and says they are a key part of keeping the stadium clean and debris free.
