Ace saving for Tarmac
Ace Arc has saved Tarmac more than GBP750,000 by solving a wearing problem on hoppers at the company's Hilton works.
Designed and manufactured in Australia, these hardened steel components fit together in a variety of configurations, depending upon the application, to provide an extra-tough alternative to Ace Arc's range of wearplate.
Ace Arc believes they are particularly relevant in applications where there is limited opportunity for regular maintenance.
Managing director Frank Fairbrother says: "Wear protection blocks are a premium product but in the right application, they can save a lot of money as the cost is offset by the wear life".
He gives the example of a chute application where getting in to do maintenance means stopping the entire plant.
"In that environment, the ware protection blocks could allow the operator to restrict the maintenance to once a year or even once every two years".
"Once you have invested in them, you get a long spell of maintenance free protection.".
