Martin to the Rescue
An aggregate company, a customer of Martin Sprocket, was experiencing frequent idler failure due to constant water and material contamination and needed to come up with a better solution.
The customer’s dredge conveyor was using a previous idler manufacturer whose idlers were only lasting about 12 months and requiring 10 hours of downtime for idler replacement.

The Need for Conveyor Equipment
A local roofing manufacturing company needed assistance in figuring out how to move a new product line through a very tight area between two buildings. Due to the customer’s strong relationship and past experiences, Sunset Industrial Parts was called immediately.
Sunset’s Solution
Upon assessment of the problem, Sunset recommended the use of Martin’s bucket elevator and screw conveyor application to move the product to the customer’s existing product line. Sunset’s Account Manager went straight to work on collecting all the necessary specifications needed to design the custom conveyor.

Critical Gearmotor Repair
Critical Gearmotor Failure. Damaged Shipment.
Sunset to the Rescue.
Doing What It Takes to Keep Industry Running
Customer Success Story
Critical Motor Failure: Recently, a local customer contacted Sunset to resolve a critical gearmotor failure resulting in production downtime. Sunset Industrial arranged for four gearmotors to be shipped overnight to the customer to get them up and running as quickly as possible.
Damaged Shipment: Upon receipt, however, Sunset and its customer learned that two units were damaged by UPS during transit.
Sunset contacted UPS for a resolution only to learn that UPS wanted to send a representative to inspect the units and see what caused the damage, a process that was going to take a week. Plus, there was an additional THREE to FOUR-WEEK process to determine if credit was to be issued!
The client didn’t have that kind of time to wait.
Sunset then contacted the manufacturer to see if they could help. But due to an inspection and part replacements, it would take at least two weeks to resolve the matter.
The Sunset Solution
Knowing the customer was down and could not afford to lose another day, the Sunset Industrial Service Team stepped into high gear (pun intended). Gearmotors were picked up from the customer that same day and the damaged parts were identified by the Sunset team.
Replacement parts were then shipped in overnight and the gearmotors were repaired and delivered to the customer within 24 hours of identifying the issue.
Outcome:
Customer installed the gearmotors, production resumed, and day was saved!

Tsubaki Super Stainless-Steel Chain Here to Help
Longer Life. Increased Uptime. Sunset Approved.
Tsubaki Super Stainless-Steel Chain
Tsubaki Success Story
About every 2-3 months, a local brewery was having issues with pre-mature chain failure on their existing 304 stainless steel chain. These issues resulted in unnecessary downtime and frequent chain replacements.
By making the switch to the US Tsubaki Super Stainless-Steel Chain, they dramatically increased the life expectancy of their chain and improved uptime resulting in significant cost savings. US Tsubaki Super Stainless Chain has the same working load capacity as carbon steel with the corrosion resistance of stainless steel.
Stainless Steel with Carbon Strength
The toughest applications require the toughest chains possible. That used to mean choosing between the corrosion resistance of stainless steel or the strength of carbon steel. Now Tsubaki offers both – in a single chain.
The Super Stainless-Steel Chain offers a higher side-bar waist and greater fatigue strength, as well as hardened pins and bushings. The result is a 100% compliant ASME B29.1 roller chain made entirely of stainless steel. It can be paired with other Tsubaki attachments and sprockets to create a reliable stainless-steel system that withstands extreme operating conditions while providing superior wear life. It’s one of the reasons why Sunset Industrial Parts recommends it.
Benefits of Tsubaki’s Super Stainless-Steel Chain
- UNPARALLELED WEAR LIFE
- Strength of Carbon Steel
- Corrosion-Resistant
- Higher waist sidebars for greater fatigue strength
- Hardened stainless steel pins and bushings for greater bearing strength
- Up to 6 times stronger than ordinary stainless steel
Ideal for Applications Involving:
- Freezers
- Food packaging/processing
- Underwater applications
- Exposure to harsh cleaners
- High-speed conveyors
- High-temperature ovens
