MINE MAINTENANCE
large bolts for such machinery, which, if they need replacing, can cause up to two weeks of downtime, or a million dollars in lost productivity, De La Cruz added.
GHT had already helped the mine in Carajás reduce downtime when it first installed Superbolt tensioners in the client’ s rope shovels. The maintenance time for removing or installing the bolted connections securing one sideframe went from 40 hours to 20 hours. But the Superbolt Tool reduced it even further to just three hours per sideframe.
Boosting fastening integrity
It was fastening of a different type that led to a major copper producer boosting reliability in its milling operations.
Looking to carry out a large-scale expansion, the miner sought a consulting proposal to reinforce the bolting and fastening elements of its SAG mill liners. The operation featured a SABC grinding circuit, designed for high-throughput copper sulphide extraction, and required improved fastening reliability to ensure safety, availability and consistent performance at higher production rates:
Its SAG mill was equipped with a lifter / plate cylinder configuration in a three-ring layout( feed / central / discharge), while its ball mill provided critical secondary grinding
