CEMA Stock Components Save GAF During Unexpected Holiday Breakdown

Introduction

GAF operates one of the largest roofing manufacturing facilities in Tampa, Florida, producing roofing materials for residential and commercial construction projects. Over Memorial Day weekend, a screw conveyor failure caused an unexpected breakdown at the facility. GAF immediately contacted Motion in Plant City, FL for assistance in sourcing replacement screw conveyor components needed to restore operations as quickly as possible.

Challenge

The failed screw conveyor required several critical CEMA stock components including a 6H312R screw, ES112 End Shaft, DS112 Drive Shaft, and two EBF112BB End Bearings. Because the failure occurred during a holiday weekend, obtaining replacement components quickly became extremely difficult. Every hour of downtime impacted production schedules and delayed roofing material shipments to customers.

KWS Advantage

Motion contacted the KWS afterhours answering service, and the KWS team responded by opening the facility during the holiday weekend to pull and load the required CEMA stock components. KWS understands that downtime is costly, and our commitment to customer service and inventory availability allowed GAF to resume operations two full days sooner than other suppliers could offer. By stocking CEMA components and providing rapid response support, KWS helped GAF minimize downtime and maintain production schedules.
