facility we disassemble, clean, inspect and measure all
gears and shafts and determine if your Lightnin gears and
shafts are qualified to be repaired. If the Lightnin gears
and shafts are not repairable, we have the
capabilities and expertise to manufacture all new Lightnin
gears and shafts such as Helical, Double Helical,
Herringbone, Split Herring bone, Bevel, Spiral Bevel, Spur
Gears, Ring Gears, Eternal Ring Gears, Rack & Pinion, Worm

Lightnin gearbox is repaired we then do a six hour
test run for overheating, vibration, and leaking to ensure
our 24 Month Guarantee. National Gear Box Repair can do all
of these repairs and rebuilds at a considerable amount of
saving rather than buying a new Lightnin gearbox.

SPX FLO and Lightnin Mixers
In the Beverage industries including the alcoholic beverage industries, Lightning Gearboxes and
Mixers are utilized through all stages of production from Separation, Heat Transfer and Mixing
and Blending. As each SPX FLO Brand product can be custom tailored to each customer its
important to understand the differences in loads that will be worked from the Lightnin Gearbox
which can cause the gearbox to fault. With solid suspension for example utilizing axial-flow
impellers when solids are denser than the liquids in the solution can cause issues within the
baffled mixing tanks. When this happens the energy ratio can get scrambled and the equipment
can malfunction. However National Gear Repairs Technicians are Lightnin
Gearbox Repair
PROS for any industry.
The Lightnin 80 Series Heavy Duty Agitator Drive pays homage to the heritage of Lightnin
Mixers as its design concept was based among the earlier designs for the beverage industry as
it was utilized as an agitator for early breweries as a Lightnin Mixer. Most Lightnin Gearboxes
and Mixers often work in tandem with
Waukesha Pumps Sure they might be related due to
being a part of the same SPX Flow Family. However the same german engineering that
created the safe for food and drug industry pumps also allowed Lightnin Engineers to modify
and update the Lightnin Gearbox and mixer concept to allow it to be retrofitted or custom built
into any space.
