Industries We Serve
From the mines and quarries inland to the refineries, mills, and plants along the coast, Solution Gear Co. keeps the heavy rotating equipment of the Texas Gulf Coast turning. We repair and rebuild gearboxes, gears, babbitt bearings, rolls, shafts, and pumps in house in Houston for every major industry below. Free shipping, free inspection, and an up to 24 month warranty on every job.
Solution Gear Co. is a Houston, Texas industrial repair shop serving mining, oil and gas, plastics and rubber, steel and alloy, power and paper, and food and dairy plants, family owned and operated for over 20 years. Whatever the industry, the worn parts are the same family of equipment: gearboxes, gears, babbitt bearings, rolls, shafts, and pumps. We rebuild all of it in house in Houston and serve Houston, Pasadena, Lake Charles, and the wider Texas Gulf Coast, with free shipping both ways, free inspection, and an up to 24 month workmanship warranty.
One shop for every plant
Different industries, the same broken parts.
A mining drive, a refinery pump, an extruder gearbox, and a paper mill roll all fail in the same ways. We rebuild the gears, bearings, shafts, and housings inside them under one roof, so you call one shop no matter what you run. Start with our core gearbox repair and the rest follows.
20+ years
Proven across heavy industry
For over two decades plants across the Gulf Coast have trusted us to rebuild the equipment they cannot easily replace, in mining, energy, steel, plastics, power, and food processing.
Up to 50%
Save versus OEM
A rebuild can save up to 50 percent versus a new OEM unit, with free shipping both ways, free inspection, and free pickup and delivery including crating and rigging.
How we work with your plant
From a line down call to running again.
No matter the industry, the path from a failed unit to a rebuilt one looks the same. Here is what happens from your first call to the day the equipment ships back.
01
Call or request a quote
Tell us what failed and what you run. Reach the shop at 713 270 6000, or the 24 hour emergency line at 832 270 2009 if the line is down right now.
02
Free pickup and inspection
We offer free pickup and delivery including crating and rigging, plus free shipping both ways. Once your equipment arrives, the inspection is free and tells you its real condition before any work begins.
03
Rebuild in house
We machine, cut gears, pour bearings, and rebuild the unit in our Houston shop, often stronger than the original OEM build for your industry and duty.
04
Ship back, backed by warranty
The finished unit ships back ready to run, covered by an up to 24 month workmanship warranty, with the option of rush turnaround when a line is waiting.
Six industries, one repair shop
The industries we serve and the work we do for each.
Pick your industry to see the equipment and services we handle most often. Every one of them also relies on our core gearbox repair.
Mining
Crushers, conveyors, draglines, and hoists run drives and bearings that take constant shock load. We rebuild the heavy gearing and wheels that keep a mine moving, including mining equipment repair, crane wheels, and planetary gearbox repair, plus the babbitt bearings inside them.
Oil and Gas
Refineries, terminals, and field operations depend on pumps, compressors, and drive gearboxes that cannot afford downtime. We handle oil field equipment repair, pump rebuilds, and full gearbox repair for the energy plants of the Gulf Coast.
Plastics and Rubber
Extrusion and molding lines live or die by the gearbox driving the screw and the condition of the screw and barrel themselves. We rebuild both with extruder gearbox repair and screw and barrel repair to bring throughput back to spec.
Steel and Alloy
Mills and processing lines wear out blades and rolls under brutal load. We regrind and rebuild the parts that shape the metal, from shear blades to full roll repair, so the line keeps cutting and rolling to tolerance.
Power and Paper
Power plants and paper mills run large, continuous drives and precision rolls where a single failure stops everything. We keep them turning with heavy gearbox repair and precision roll repair, machined back to true.
Food and Dairy
Food and dairy plants run pumps and processing equipment that must stay clean and reliable through long production runs. We restore them with pump rebuilds and screw and barrel repair to keep product moving.
Do not see your industry? If it runs a gearbox, a gear, a bearing, a roll, a shaft, or a pump, we can rebuild it. Start with our core gearbox repair or just tell us what you run.
Where we work
Built for the Texas Gulf Coast.
From our shop on West Belfort Ave in Houston, we serve plants across Houston, Pasadena, Lake Charles, and the wider Gulf Coast. Free pickup and delivery, including crating and rigging, means heavy units come to us and go back without you arranging a thing.
No risk to you
Why no plant should scrap a repairable unit.
Restore
Rebuild, do not replace
A rebuilt unit comes back to the original fit and clearance, often stronger than OEM, for a fraction of a new casting. No equipment is automatically beyond repair.
Free
Shipping, inspection, pickup
Free shipping both ways, free inspection, and free pickup and delivery including crating and rigging. You see the real condition before you commit a dollar.
Backed
up to a 24 month warranty
An up to 24 month workmanship warranty on every rebuild, built to carry the load the way the original did, in any industry.
24/7
Emergency turnaround
Line down at 2am? Our 24 hour emergency line answers at 832 270 2009. Rush rebuilds in days, not weeks, to get production running again.
Questions, answered
What plants ask before they send us a unit.
Which industries does Solution Gear Co. serve?
We repair gearboxes, gears, babbitt bearings, rolls, shafts, pumps, and rotating equipment for mining, oil and gas, plastics and rubber, steel and alloy, power and paper, and food and dairy plants. We are based in Houston and serve Houston, Pasadena, Lake Charles, and the wider Texas Gulf Coast. Family owned and operated for over 20 years.
Do you repair equipment specific to my industry?
Yes. Each industry runs different machines, so we tailor the work. Mining gets crane wheels and planetary gearbox repair, oil and gas gets oil field and pump rebuild work, plastics gets extruder gearbox and screw and barrel repair, steel gets shear blades and roll repair, and food and dairy gets pump and screw rebuilds. The same in house shop handles the common parts like gearbox repair and babbitt bearings for every one of them.
What does it cost to repair instead of replace?
A rebuild from Solution Gear Co. can save up to 50 percent versus a new OEM unit. Shipping is free both ways, the inspection is free, and we offer free pickup and delivery including crating and rigging. Every repair carries an up to 24 month workmanship warranty, so there is little risk in finding out what your equipment is worth before you scrap it.
Can you respond if a line goes down outside business hours?
Yes. Our 24 hour emergency line answers at 832 270 2009 around the clock. Regular hours are Monday to Friday 7am to 6pm, but a line down at any hour reaches a real person who can start an emergency repair. We serve plants across Houston, Pasadena, Lake Charles, and the Texas Gulf Coast.
