“UltraTungsten table liners are the best investment we’ve ever made. Our product quality and productivity has gone up,while maintenance costs have been significantly reduced. They also help protect our pallets and mouldage.” Works Engineer
The Challenge:
Vibration table liners on a block paving machine were suffering high wear rates, impacting on product quality and causing excessive down time. Uneven wear lead to constant adjustment, damage to pallets and stress on the block machine.
Our Solution:
UltraTungsten carbide protected vibration table liners
The Improvement:
Steel – 12 weeks, weekly adjustment
UltraTungsten – 140 weeks, no adjustment
-
