Philadelphia Gear ® keeps legacy mixers going strong

50+ years of wastewater mixer service

Will a modern top-entry mixer gearbox last as long as the reliable platforms that have already served your treatment facility for years?

Maybe. But complete gearbox replacement is expensive — especially when your existing mixer gearboxes already get the job done.

Choose expert maintenance from Philadelphia Gear® instead.

We ensure your legacy mixer gearbox performs at full capacity — and at a fraction of the cost of a replacement.

Any brand. Any age. We service it all.

For over half a century, Philadelphia Gear has performed aftermarket repairs that maintain the reliability of legacy top-entry gearboxes — including Philadelphia Mixing Solutions — while reducing costs and lead times for wastewater treatment plant operators.

We understand the environment your mixers face: high-viscosity industrial loads, high torque demand, sludge layering, and the persistent need for reliability. Our team applies onsite expertise to keep your legacy configuration moving.

Built to withstand any mixer gearbox environment

Wastewater treatment plants are exceptionally punishing environments for gearbox equipment — but we come prepared.

High torque delivery, compact form factors

Philadelphia Gear can refurbish or retrofit mixer gearboxes in even the most constrained spaces to deliver the torque your mixers need, even in tight installs.

We ensure your mixers can power through viscosity and eliminate dead zones while keeping the gearbox footprint low — and maintenance accessible.

Exceptional durability to outlast corrosion

Sludge. Abrasion. Nonstop humidity. The elements.

Philadelphia Gear rebuilds gearboxes to withstand corrosive, washdown-prone environments so your mixers that run longer, at lower cost, without the risk of unexpected downtime associated with the ongoing stresses of your wastewater facility.
