Mining Case Study #3
Case Study No.: 50100141
Application: Peat Moss Agitator Drive Chain Cost Savings
Cost Savings: $104,000
Upon its extraction, peat moss is put through a hopper, where it is agitated into a less dense form, before moving on to further processing. As one can imagine, when the peat moss is wet, the load to the drive is significantly increased. So, on wet work days the RS100 drive chain in one operation would need to be repaired up to three times.
The Tsubaki solution: We advised this customer to switch to Tsubaki’s HT series chain. The result has been zero downtime over a three-year period
