The Ultimate Auger Upgrade: Saving Time and Money in Cement Production
The Challenge
A cement company faced frequent production stoppages due to rapid deterioration of OEM augers, leading to significant wear, costly replacements, and downtime. The extensive repair process required over 24 hours, six workers and a crane, driving up maintenance costs and hampering productivity.
The Solution
Castolin Eutectic introduced a turn-key auger upgrade with CDP spiral engineered complex carbide flights and a top coat with a MeCaTeC polymer coating for anti-stick and high abrasion resistance. This innovative approach aimed to extend the service life of the auger, eliminate frequent replacements, and reduce production disruptions.
The Outcome
The enhanced auger proved exceptional durability, showing minimal wear and extending its performance by 3.5 times. This improvement led to reduced downtime and maintenance expenses, including savings on shutdown planning and crane rentals. The maintenance inspector described the auger as "bullet-proof," demonstrating the success of Castolin Eutectic's solution in boosting production efficiency.
CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL
“Castolin Eutectic not only saved us on maintenance costs and increased our production, but the auger has turned out to be completely bullet-proof.” Maintenance Inspector - Global Cement company
