Lerato manages the wear notes process, ensuring plant leads receive clear, focused updates about liner life, wear patterns, and part selection for jaw crushers, cone crushers, impact crushers, and screens. She reviews worn liners and frames that come into the Sunnyrock yard or are sent in by customers, records accurate measurements and traces, and tracks how materials like Martensitic steel, manganese, and ceramics are performing under real African feed conditions. Lerato also checks for issues like uneven wear, gap setting drift, and feed misdistribution, making sure the team is ready with the right part for the next changeout.
- Tracks jaw plate and mantle wear
- Assesses blow bar and cheek plate performance
- Logs choke feed and screen tension notes
- Guides campaign planning and stock checks
The plants and problems lerato helps with
Lerato supports a wide range of customers, from Highveld quarries with hard dolerite to Lowveld river sand plants and recycling yards handling demolition rubble. She sees most issues when abrasive, angular feed chews through liners faster than expected or when poor nip angle and open closed side settings lead to premature jaw and toggle breakage. In sand and aggregate plants, she helps deal with screen blinding and poor tension or with polyurethane media wearing out in the Durban humidity. She often advises on keeping rotors balanced, correct use of backing compound, and torque for liner bolts, pointing plant leads towards the right OEM manual if a spec is critical.
- Handles hard rock and recycled concrete feed
- Reviews breakdowns from tramp metal or power cuts
- Solves screen and crusher feed distribution issues
How customers work with lerato
Plant leads and maintenance teams reach Lerato by sending details, photos, or physical samples via the Contact form address. She responds with practical notes and diagrams summarising what the wear says about their process, often highlighting where a tweak to closed side setting, nip angle, or feed distribution could extend liner life. If she spots a safety risk, like missing lifting lugs or signs of incorrect lockout, she flags it for action. Customers appreciate her no-nonsense reports and her willingness to defer to the OEM manual for torque and fitment queries. She helps plan ahead for campaign changes and helps keep critical stock on hand so power cuts or Eskom outages do not leave a plant short.
