Why repair your Kiln Girth Gear & Pinion Set with us
Real numbers before teardown
Most shops quote only after your unit is in pieces on their bench. We publish the whole market — new, used, scrap, competitor repair — up front, so you negotiate from strength.
Cheaper and faster
Our network rate beats standard shop pricing by roughly 18–25% on the Kiln Girth Gear & Pinion Set, with turnaround 2–3 days shorter — and 24–72 hour emergency rush when the line is down.
Two-way market maker
If repair isn't the smart move we say so, buy your unit for cash, and can supply a tested used replacement. No other gear shop gives you all three exits.
20+ years of industrial iron
Industrial Surplus World has bought, sold, and rebuilt Horsburgh & Scott equipment for decades — rotary kilns, dryers drives are daily work, not an experiment.
About the Kiln Girth Gear & Pinion Set
The Kiln Girth Gear & Pinion Set is a girth gear + mating pinion set from the Girth gears, pinions, custom drives line, rated kiln drives across ratios of custom, and most commonly found on rotary kilns, dryers. Horsburgh & Scott builds and rebuilds the biggest open gearing in America — mill girth gears, pinions, and custom heavy boxes since 1886.
When a Kiln Girth Gear & Pinion Set fails, the real decision is economic: a new unit lists at $120,000–$520,000 with a 16–30 week factory queue, a tested used unit trades at $48,000–$374,400 when you can find one, and a standard shop rebuild runs $55,200–$312,000 over 8–16 weeks. Our in-house network rate of $43,100–$255,800 in 4–10 weeks beats all of those paths on total cost of downtime — and if the unit is beyond economic repair, its scrap weight alone is worth $2,880–$7,040, while we'll pay $5,800–$89,900 for the core as-is.
Typical failure modes on this family are bearing wear, shaft-seal leakage, and tooth-surface distress from degraded or contaminated oil. A correct rebuild means full teardown, hot-tank cleaning, magnetic-particle inspection of all gearing, verification of bearing-bore tolerances, all-new bearings, seals, shims and gaskets, reassembly to factory clearances, and a loaded run-test with warranty up to 24 months. Done right, it restores full service life at a fraction of replacement cost.
