The mining industry differs in the scale of the equipment used and the environment in which it has to operate. The latter is extremely aggressive, which can cause parts to fail ahead of schedule. To keep the equipment in working order, it is necessary to regularly inspect it, and if necessary, carry out repairs, which are invariably associated with downtime. To minimize the negative effects of this phenomenon, mining equipment parts always in stock.
Where and what is applied
In the mining industry, crushers, conveyors, pumping and other industrial equipment are used. In turn, wear parts include:
-
springs;
-
bearings;
-
filters;
-
V-belt drives;
-
electrical and hydraulic components;
-
conveyor belts and more.
If even one of the wear parts fails, normally functioning parts can also be affected. As a result of their breakdown, the cost of repair increases many times over. For those responsible for the operation of the equipment, it is important to determine which spare parts fail most intensively and ensure their timely replacement.
Logistic features
If you operate equipment, for example, TRIO or TEREX brands, then experts will confirm that you need to use spare parts of exactly these brands for replacement. But in a continuous production follow. Of course, companies that manufacture machinery and equipment have a certain stock of replacement parts. But it is not always enough to satisfy all orders.
The reason is that every successful brand has a wide customer base - mining operations are located all over the world. Sooner or later, their equipment will require repair, so there are always a lot of requests for replacement parts.
At the same time, you need to understand that the manufacturer's natural priority is equipment, and spare parts are an auxiliary area. Sometimes their production is transferred to the jurisdiction of subsidiaries, and even third-party firms. The process of manufacturing parts is time consuming, resulting in months of downtime for the customer.
To avoid this, use analog parts. They are made in the maximum accordance with the original. The technical characteristics of a particular model of equipment, and the geometric parameters of the product itself are taken into account.
These components are produced by an international company with factories around the world. They not only develop parts of mining equipment to replace them with equipment from leading manufacturers. All products are regularly improved. In its production, high-strength alloys are used from materials such as:
-
iron;
-
nickel;
-
manganese, etc.
This increases wear resistance, and lengthens the overhaul period, and generally prolongs operation. All products meet the international quality standard ISO 9001. The analytical department of the company regularly studies the demand, in accordance with which the warehouse stock of the most demanded components is formed. This allows you to quickly fulfill orders.
If your company operates equipment with non-standard parameters, please contact the design department. Its specialists will study samples of components and adapt them to your equipment. They will conduct a test, draw up the necessary documentation and advise on all the nuances of operation.
