Remanufacture of Idler Housings with Guide Wheels for SKF South Africa

Precision Remanufacturing for Power Infrastructure

Boremill Engineering is proud to have partnered with SKF South Africa in the remanufacture of Idler Housings with Guide Wheels used within Eskom’s power generation systems. These components play a vital role in keeping conveyor and material handling equipment fully operational — a key factor in maintaining consistent energy production across South Africa.

Built to Perform, Restored to Last

Each housing was completely stripped, inspected, and re-engineered to meet SKF’s precise maintenance standards. Our machining and fitting teams ensured exact alignment, bearing replacement, and component balancing — restoring full operational tolerance and extending service life beyond original expectations.

Quality That Meets Industrial Standards

Work was executed under ISO-aligned procedures and SKF’s maintenance specifications, using coded welders and calibrated machining tools. Each unit underwent dimensional inspection and non-destructive testing to confirm structural integrity and ensure dependable field performance.

Delivering Value Through Partnership

By remanufacturing these assemblies locally, SKF South Africa was able to reduce turnaround times and maintain Eskom’s maintenance schedule without compromising quality — proving the strength of working with trusted engineering partners like Boremill.
