CRUSHERS, SCREENS, CHUTES, LINERS
The company specialises in large vibrating screens
invisible to the naked eye and only detectable through regular monitoring, but they have a huge impact on the performance of the machine in terms of effective screening and flow of material. “These small cracks show up as peaks in the frequency reading and clearly show up on the graph, allowing us to do something about it before an unexpected breakdown occurs,” explains Joachim. “The monitoring service must be undertaken on a regular basis and can be carried out by us as part of a maintenance contract, or, in the case of longstanding clients, even carried out by their technicians who simply send the data to us for analysis.”
Caring for the future
In today’s market, where there are many machinery manufacturers competing for a slice of the pie, it is important for the mines to consider the long-term relationship with their suppliers in order to obtain the optimum life out of capital equipment. Joachim says in conclusion, “This is why we strive for a global overview of the operations of our customers so that we can ensure they have the right machine for their operations. There are many instances where the wrong screening machines have been chosen purely because they were bought off a list of standard off-the-shelf machines. Not only do we care about the right choice, but we want to take care of the machine and its performance afterwards as well.” Joachim Hoppe, Haver Southern Africa, Tel: (011) 476-4804, Email: j.hoppe@haverboecker.com
