At M.R. Snyder Company, we take pride in providing innovative and cost-effective solutions to our clients in the industrial sector. Recently, we had the privilege of partnering with this local tire manufacturer to design and build a custom electrical control panel that would replace their existing 18-zone Temperature Control Unit (TCU). This project not only helped them streamline their operations but also offered a more affordable and reliable alternative to continuing to rely on their original equipment manufacturer.

The Challenge: Outdated Control Panel in Need of an Upgrade

The previous Temperature Control Unit had been in service for many years. While it had served the company well, the technology was outdated, and maintenance costs were rising. Additionally, parts for the original system were becoming harder to source, which presented operational challenges. As a result, this manufacturer sought a solution that would provide greater efficiency, better reliability, and a more cost-effective approach to their ongoing operations.

The M.R. Snyder Solution: Custom Electrical Control Panel

M.R. Snyder’s experienced engineering and design team took on the challenge to develop a new electrical control panel that could replace the old TCU system. Our goal was to provide a similar with a scalable solution that would seamlessly integrate with their existing infrastructure while reducing future maintenance and operational costs.

We worked closely with them to understand their unique requirements, including the specifications for the 18-zone system, and developed a custom control panel to meet those needs. Our team ensured that the panel would not only be highly functional but also durable and easy to maintain in the long term.

Offsite Testing for a Smooth Installation

One of the key advantages of working with M.R. Snyder is our ability to conduct comprehensive testing offsite at our facility. Once the control panel was fully designed and constructed, we tested it extensively in our workshop. This testing process ensured that all components were functioning properly and allowed us to identify and resolve any issues before installation.

Testing offsite proved to be a crucial element of the project, as it allowed us to troubleshoot and fine-tune the system without disrupting our customers operations. By the time the control panel arrived at the their facility, we had already addressed any potential issues, which made for a quick and seamless installation during their scheduled shutdown period.

The Benefits: Cost-Effective, Reliable, and Efficient

By choosing M.R. Snyder to design and build their new electrical control panel, they gained a more affordable solution compared to relying on their original manufacturer. The custom-built panel provided the company with a more reliable and efficient control system, with the added benefit of better long-term support.

Additionally, the offsite testing ensured that the panel would function flawlessly when it was needed most, during the shutdown. The successful and timely installation further demonstrated the effectiveness of our collaborative approach to problem-solving and customer satisfaction.

Conclusion: A Successful Partnership

This project exemplifies the capabilities of M.R. Snyder Company to provide tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of our clients. By offering a more cost-effective alternative to their existing temperature control system, we helped them reduce maintenance costs, improve system reliability, and ensure operational continuity. Our commitment to high-quality engineering, testing, and customer satisfaction continues to make us a trusted partner for industries across the country.
