Wear
Wear notes from our team
Twenty-eight practical wear notes written by our team for South African plant leads.
Mr Thabo Molefe
Turning jaw dies at half life
Turn symmetrical dies before the bottom teeth are gone and you get a second life.
Mr Thabo Molefe
Work hardening before romance
Mn only helps after the feed works it. Start with real rock, not brochure hardness.
Ms Lerato Dlamini
Cheek plate change windows
Cheeks scar frames when change windows slip past the last safe photo.
Mr Pieter Botha
Feed distribution kills mantles
A perfect Mn grade still dies early if the feeder piles one side.
Ms Amina Hassan
Mn grade selection
Mn13 vs Mn18 is a plant decision, not a catalogue romance.
Mr Sipho Nkosi
Chamber geometry honesty
Unmatched mantle and concave profiles waste Mn and tonnage.
Ms Chloe Naidoo
Blow bar alloy honesty
Demolition feed is not quarry feed. Alloy choice is the week.
Mr Thabo Molefe
VSI tip moisture windows
Wet feed and tip life fight each other unless you log moisture.
Ms Lerato Dlamini
Aperture honesty beats hope
Screen media that lies about aperture sells product that customers reject.
Mr Pieter Botha
Toggle fuse logic
A toggle that never breaks is not safer when tramp metal arrives.
Ms Amina Hassan
Aligned change windows
Bowl and mantle that change weeks apart force awkward mid-campaign stops.
Mr Sipho Nkosi
Gyratory campaign planning
Primary gyratory stops are expensive. Plan the mantle with the campaign.
Ms Chloe Naidoo
Hopper first, chamber second
Hopper liners are cheap insurance for jaw and mantle life.
Mr Thabo Molefe
Button maps beat guesswork
Wear buttons only work when the bounce map is written down.
Ms Lerato Dlamini
Night shift liner photos
Photo logs beat memory when the day crew inherits a worn chamber.
Mr Pieter Botha
Coastal bolt corrosion
Salt air eats fasteners. Storage and grease notes matter.
Ms Amina Hassan
Contract fleet handoffs
Moving kits between sites needs a named owner and a our contact form note.
Mr Sipho Nkosi
Starter plant liner habits
Small plants fail when they treat liners as emergency buys only.
Ms Chloe Naidoo
Tramp metal after toggle
After a fuse event, inspect seats before you celebrate uptime.
Mr Thabo Molefe
Screen tension discipline
Loose decks destroy media and pretend the crusher is the problem.
Ms Lerato Dlamini
Impact rotor balance
Blow bar kits that ignore balance make bearings pay.
Mr Pieter Botha
Cone CSS notes
Closed side setting notes belong with the liner pack, not in a separate PDF graveyard.
Ms Amina Hassan
Highveld dust on bolts
Dust packed threads fake torque. Clean before you claim the liner is seated.
Mr Sipho Nkosi
Recycle rebar risks
Rebar in demolition feed is why soft alloys disappear.
Ms Chloe Naidoo
Sand plant tip maps
Tip maps that travel with the rotor save the next campaign.
Mr Thabo Molefe
Quarry Monday standups
Wear notes that fit a standup beat novels that nobody reads.
Ms Lerato Dlamini
The one-line parts brief
One sentence naming the wear problem beats a fifteen-page RFQ.
Mr Pieter Botha
Sunnyrock yard rhythm
How our yard picks kits, checks profiles and photographs every order before dispatch.
