When pelletizer rotors lose their edge, honing them isn’t as simple as, say, sharpening a knife. In fact, pelletizing rotors have three distinct angles that all require a specialized process to sharpen properly. BPM’s technicians can sharpen every brand of rotor and even build new ones if required.

With BPM Fast Track, after receiving the customers’ rotors, Bay analyzes and sharpens them, then ships them back to customers — and and the entire process takes only two weeks or less. BPM also provides this 2-week-or-less repair service for feed rolls.

“One-week turnarounds for sharpening are not unusual for us,” notes Ryan Brant, BPM’s rotor cell manager. “If the repairs require welding, that takes two weeks.” By contrast, said Brant, it can take other repair services months to complete a sharpening.
