VMV Paducahbilt Prime
Movers are remanufactured to the customer's specifications using OEM
guidelines. Our granite table is utilized for dimensional checks to
ensure all tolerances of the 'A' frame are repaired to OEM
specifications. The main line bore is checked, welded and machined
giving you a fresh line bore. The 'A' frame is then sent to one of
our CNC milling machines for machining of all repaired surfaces including
head surfaces, lower liner area and exhaust surfaces. Final checks
are made on the 'A' frame. The 'A' frame is then matched to the oil
pan and sent to the assembly line. All components and accessories
are rebuilt by skilled craftsmen and supplied to the assembly line.
Upon completion of the
assembly, prime movers are fully load tested for eight hours in one of our
two test cell facilities. During the load test, bearing temperatures
along with water, fuel and oil flows are monitored. Lube oil samples
are lab analyzed and recorded as part of the engine build manual.
The completed prime mover is then painted and prepared for shipment or
installation into locomotives. All build documents are available to
the customer upon request. By signing up for our innovative PRIME
MOVER EXCHANGE PROGRAM, VMV will supply you a remanufactured prime mover
in only two weeks. Please call one of our sales representatives for
more information. When choosing a supplier for your prime mover
needs, choose PADUCAHBILT.
