Forestry

VANGEAR has been servicing the Forest Industry since our inception in 1952. Over the years we have become a preferred supplier for after market replacement parts. In 1994 VANGEAR designed and developed the involute arbor for the sawmill industry. This new concept has been so successful that they are currently used in over 85% of Canadian and 35% of U.S. Sawmills, and are now being introduced and installed in other countries throughout the world. Our Research and Development continued and in 1998 we introduced the Ultra-Tech Universal Arbor System, which has been patented world wide. This new system is particularly suited for high speed thin kerf applications.

Oil

With modern day technology, there has been an increasing demand for parts manufactured with greater tolerances and greater accuracy, to deal with the severe environments that the equipment must endure. VANGEAR has always recognized these criteria and has worked very closely with both engineers and manufactures alike. In order to produce these high quality parts, VANGEAR utilizes the best materials possible along with high precision gearing and machining equipment.

Mining

Breakdowns are a common problem when equipment is working in these harsh and corrosive conditions. Replacing these parts in the shortest time frame possible is of utmost importance to avoid costly downtime. VANGEAR has the experience and the ability to work under these time restraints. It is vital that these replacements parts are made with precision accuracy, strength and durability. This will ensure swift, problem-free installation and enable maximum performance of the designed application. VANGEAR has enjoyed long term relationships with our customers and they know that they can depend on us for all of their gearing and machining needs.
