1. PEMBUKAAN PAINPOINT DRIVEN

Unscheduled downtime, rising energy costs, and inconsistent product fineness are constant pressures in mineral processing. A compromised ball mill is often at the heart of these issues. Adakah anda menghadapi:
Excessive Operational Cost: Ball mills can consume over 15% of a plant’s total energy budget. Inefficient grinding and liner wear directly inflate your costperton metric.
Unplanned Production Stops: Catastrophic failures—from trunnion bearing seizures to cracked gear teeth—result in days of lost throughput and expensive emergency repairs.
Varian Kualiti Produk: Worn liners, unbalanced charge, or misaligned girth gears lead to inconsistent particle size distribution (JPA), jeopardizing downstream recovery rates and final product specs.
Keselamatan & Risiko Kebolehpercayaan: Manual internal inspections are hazardous and timeconsuming, while undetected internal wear can lead to shell failures.
