CASE 207
Manufacturing hammers with hardoplas
The Challenge
The cost of wood chip crushing must go down.
Important factors in this are:
- Energy consumption (a hammer mill is known to be a large consumer)
- Stand time of the hammers
- Efficiency of the crushing process
- Quality of the crushed material
Solution
Hammers fitted with a custom-made Durallco hardoplas.
Selection made based on:
- Current wear pattern
- Properties of the material to be broken
- Composition of the material to be broken
Production Profits
- The tool life of the hammers increased 5 times with this treatment.
- This results in 5 times less downtime for disassembly and assembly. Cost/Ton – 22%
- The quality of the broken material produced increases by 17%
