Equipment and machinery can fail to meet their operational requirements due to multiple factors including design, materials, overloads, fatigue and environment. You rely heavily on your equipment to deliver value to your company.
When was the last time you identified that continual repairs were causing downtime and additional cost to your business? Vella Asset Management recently completed a structural upgrade to a dragline drag dirt chute. Since the machine had been originally commissioned, this chute had had a number of structural upgrades due to excessive movement, providing only incremental improvements.
It is important, prior to completing upgrades, to be sure that a machine’s behaviour is clearly understood and quantified in order to develop an effective long-term solution. Working together with an engineering firm, and confident that the particular characteristics of the dirt chute were thoroughly understood, Vella Asset Management was able to develop a successful plan for a long-term solution.
How can Vella Asset Management assist you in avoiding repetitive failures and keeping your equipment working effectively for longer?
