SUCCESSFUL CASES

Increase inlet liner lifetime for lower downtime. Usually, inlet liners have lower lifetimes, causing several stops as wet-ends were replaced earlier. Develop a rubber wet-end set from scratch together with all the most common spares for MCR350. Keep the stock close to the customer because of the enormous consumption and low delivery availability during the wintertime.Extra-thick inlet liner development together with a new prole of an Inlet-Impeller connection within the wet-end assembly. A from-scratch reverse engineering project all the way up to trial testing and mass production for 1.5 years.• The lifetime of the inlet increased by 15% from 3,500h to 4,000h on average;• Each full set of wet-ends were replaced at the 4,000h mark instead of at 3,500h. • Over 30 sets of wet-ends were supplied over the course of three years. • Mechanical readiness of equipment remained unchanged; • Part lifetime is the same as OEM parts;• Signicant optimization of customer OPEX because of the local stock and lower price level;• Over160 sets of Wet-ends for MCR350 were sold;• Signed service contract with full responsibility for the planning and delivery of all pump parts.

SUCCESSFUL CASES

Our costumer was facing signicant challenges concerning availability and escalating costs for the rubber liners. Our customer was actively searching for a solution to reduce the secondary mill discharge pumps downtime. The amount of time speeded in each opening process, allied with safety risks associated was jeopardizing th eir ope ration. Element addressed these concerns by providing own rubber liners including warranty program for both material and performanc e over the products lifetime. Additionally, customer was included in Element’s stock program. We delivered top-tier rubber liners alongside High-Chrome metal impellers, tailored precisely to meet the demands of this critical application. • The implementation of Element’s liners, which have demonstrated performance on par with OEM conterparts (three-month operational period). • Customer is now being able to receive liners within 1-2 weeks from order placement.• Through meticulou s monitoring and inspections every 300 hours, Element's specialized wear parts showcased an impressive 25% increase in lifespan. Emboldened by this success, our client condently extended their preventive maintenance intervals from 300 to 600 hours, unlocking substantial reductions in downtime and a surge in productivity. This translated into signicant operational expenditure savings, thanks to the reduced need for costly wear parts.• Empowered by our success, Element was entrusted with replicating this winning formula across other pumps within the customer site.
