A Perth-based motor trimming company has started a new range of protective machine deals to the Queensland mining sector which are saving a number of the state's highest companies a large amount in replacement parts and preventative maintenance charges.
Modern motor trimmers has paid over five years researching and building a range of ram covers for motors and excavators. The 'ripstop' PVC sleeves prevent wear and tear, maybe tripling the life expectancy of ram seals and chroming, and generating essential cost savings.
The covers, which retail for under $1,000, have also been designed for coal shoots, rock crushers and dust extractors, and are proving popular having procurement professionals and mine planners who have quickly bought on the savings and conveniences they offer.
MMT managing director Garry Spouge said the covers give protection against stones, dust and salt pitting the machinery's rods, which can cause to the tearing of ram seals. They have been developed to enable simple self-installation by mechanics.
"Setting up new ram seals can take several mechanics up to half a day, and have obvious security implications, particularly where cranes or cherry pickers are needed," he said.
"It's obviously a pricey exercise regarding manpower and also with machinery being down or out of use for a few hours.
"That's why we've designed our ram covers to be easily installed, they drop on and are protected either side by a patented clamp; the entire process takes about 45 minutes and can boost the life of the rod and seals by a couple of times.
"Given that an excavator ram may cost in excess of $50,000, the expense savings are really impressive, which explains why the demand for our covers is fast increasing."
One of the first industries to fit the protective covers to its complete truck fleet was Western-Australia, at its mine in far north WA.
Rio Tinto in Queensland and has also just placed a bulk order for the sleeves, which MMT is producing in a range of safety colors, which includes yellow and orange.
"We're finding that the more progressive companies are seeing the big expense benefits, and our orders have increased by 20 per cent since first release into the Queensland market only 6 months ago," Mr Spouge added.
"We're also working with a number of the bigger miners to customized design protective sleeves for other plant and machinery, and this bespoke, tailor-made service is an area which we can be looking to expand into in the near future."
The research and development work carried out by MMT on the protective ram covers is an inclusion to the company's core market, which is focused on the furnish, installation and servicing of premium suspension seats and seating products to the Australian mining, design, engineering, creating and transport sectors.
The company is Western Australia's only authorized supplier and repairer for German maker ISRI, which is widely popular as the manufacturer of the world's most advanced driver and passenger seating products.
