The Wear IQ system addresses today's challenges in maintenance: To organize, follow-up and communicate about wear parts in crushers, shredders and other wear challenged equipment. With Wear IQ you will experience a new level on convenience and efficiency. You can track maintenance interval, replacement due dates and simplify communication within the team.
During a visit to site our customer made us aware of problems they were having with their current ball mill inlets, which experience significant abrasion daily but are a timely and inconvenient fix due to the confined space and the current procedure of welding in replacement liner plates. The difficulty in welding the liners in properly resulted in feed material getting in behind the liners and lifting them, which regularly caused blockages in the inlet and therefore increased downtime. We suggested the possibility of creating new inlets, each with hole positions already cut so liners can be bolted in and out and replaced with ease. The AUK team developed a design for the liner plate configuration and upgraded the previous inlet and liners from mild steel to our longer lasting materials.
Our customer explained that these items are exposed to severe abrasion, and being produced from Hardox® 450 they were not lasting long enough. We initially upgraded to Hardox® 500 and while the parts lasted longer there was not a sufficient increase in the wear life to suggest we could stop there. As a result, we suggested trialling Hardox® 600 and our customer has not looked back, by upgrading they have extended the wear life on these parts from 4 days to 14 days saving thousands in down time & labour costs every month.
Having previously been using mild steel, our customer decided to upgrade to an abrasion resistant material that can take the heat. Hardox® HiTemp measures at 400 HBW in hardness but will retain its properties in temperatures of up to 500°C making it the perfect material for lifters within an asphalt dryer where heat & abrasion can cause serious wear issues. The increase in both hardness and temperature resistance will extend the service life of the lifters, result in fewer replacements costs and improve safety thanks to less frequent shutdowns for maintenance and repairs.
Wood and forestry operations have some particular wear challenges. One is that wood processing usually leads to a corrosive and acidic wear environment. We have the experience and knowledge to counter this and other challenges and provide wear parts and solutions that ensure a productive, low-maintenace and cost-efficient operation.
Cement industry equipment needs wear-resistant parts and wear solutions from the limestone quarry all the way to loading and transporting the final product. Abrasion takes place during excavation, crushing, screening, mixing and when transporting the limestone and the klinker.
Energy production plants handle large quantities of bulk material and the equipment is exposed to high abrasion. To ensure reliable production, which is vital for the uninterrupted output of energy, all wear parts need to be highly wear resistant and reliable.
The iron and steel industry's conveying and storing systems handle large amounts of abrasive materials. It is important to keep the material flowing to ensure uninterrupted production. Abraservice provides wear parts for everything from liners for chutes and hoppers to conveyor screws, cyclones, elbows and blast furnace inlets.
Mines and quarries are home to some extreme challenges both from sliding wear and impact. We can help you counter these challenges and provide wear parts and solutions that ensure a productive and cost-efficient operation.
Profitable recycling depends on the reliable performance of the recycling equipment. Any unexpected downtime or premature replacement of parts will put your operation’s bottom line at risk. We can help you counter these challenges by providing wear parts and solutions that ensure a productive and cost-efficient operation.
With our new product line, we open up for new possibilities and can always help you find a steel that is perfect for your needs.
