Wear Parts and Relines
Wear parts and relines against the original drawing number, forecast from the commissioning baseline.
How it runs
-
Register the parts
Build the parts register from the machine drawings at handover, not from an invoice history.
-
Forecast the reline
Measure wear against the baseline and forecast the change-out date.
-
Order by drawing number
Order against the drawing number; the part is made to the frozen revision.
-
Reline
Attend or supervise the reline, and record what came out and what went in.
-
Update the baseline
Update the forecast from the new baseline, so the next window is booked early.
What is in it
- Every part traceable to a drawing number, not a description
- Change-out dates forecast from measured wear, not from a calendar guess
- A second number for the wear desk, so spares do not queue behind new projects
- A reline record per change-out, kept with the machine file
Deliverables
- Drawing-numbered parts register per machine
- Wear forecast with a planned change-out date
- Stocking recommendation sized to the mine's shutdown calendar
- Reline record: what came out, what went in, hours run
- Dimensionally checked drawings for anything made to order
What the mine provides
The machine's drawing number and serial, running hours since the last change-out, what the plant is actually being fed, and the mine's shutdown calendar so the window can be planned around it.
How it is signed off
A six-month spares list per machine and a reline record at every change-out — the record is what turns a wear rate into a forecast.
Once a plant is running, the machine is no longer the product — the liner is. Jaw plates, bowl liners, screen media and chute wear plate consume quietly and continuously, and a plant stopped for a part that does not fit is the most expensive kind of downtime there is.
Every wear part we supply is made to the drawing number the machine was built from. Order by that number and the part that arrives is the part that was in it on day one, whether that was last year or five years ago.
Relines are planned against the wear baseline from commissioning: we forecast the change-out date, the mine books the window, and the parts are on site before the window opens.
Send the rock, not the wish list.
A 200 kg sample and the product list you want to sell is enough for us to price a circuit. Without the sample we will tell you so rather than guess.
