Critical Replacement Parts:

Harper equipment includes specific instructions and comprehensive operating manuals that cross reference critical maintenance drawings with a spare parts list for easy identification.Typical spare parts are categorized as one of the following:

An item or assembly that would prevent effective operation of the equipment due to long lead time, but has a lower risk of failure; such as:

  • Process tubes that include a variety of metallic, as well as ceramic (Mullite, Alumina, Silicon Carbide, Quartz, Graphite)
  • Muffles (metallic and nonmetallic)
  • Cooling sections
  • Preheat sections
  • Purge chambers

These are items that can be integrated to existing equipment, or modified based on changing production requirements.

An item that has a moderate to high risk of failure and or a long lead time resulting in equipment downtime. Electric resistance heating elements go through a rigorous design review based on each application. We utilize a wide range of heating elements from metallic alloys, ceramic, precious metals, graphite and intermetallic.

A part that cannot be repaired and may become damaged during operation or maintenance activities.

  • Hearth tiles
  • Muffle liners
  • Rotary tube gas seals
  • Trunnions, graphite, alloy, etc.

These are some of the items that are considered wear components to protect and extend the life of more costly items.

A component that will not necessarily cause equipment downtime, but necessary to monitor or control equipment to intended parameters or maintain safety during operation, including thermocouples, sensors, transmitters, or other instrumentation for detecting critical process information.We also support legacy equipment through detailed documentation. Where some items may no longer be available; an alternative can be determined to retrofit existing equipment and minimize rework for installation.
