IS IT REALLY THE SEAL?
This York YT machine had a seal failure. A manufacture was awarded the job and replaced the seal. Three months later the seal failed again. After this customer had already made a significant investment for the repair, they decided to call in the experts. USAir was called in to investigate these seal failures. Through our due diligence and expertise in large tonnage equipment, we pinpointed the problem immediately.
