Partnerships are important in everyday business; they help businesses improve operations and run more efficiently. A partnership can provide an existing business with the experience and skills that may be lacking in its workforce, unlocking more potential to improve processes and increase productivity.
Many industries, such as recycling, cement, and mining, use plant equipment daily, which must be regularly maintained and serviced. Sudden breakdowns can be costly and impact production across the plant.
Recently, Welding Alloys has been partnering with several companies to provide solutions for servicing plant equipment. These partnerships have been very successful, with positive results seen within the first year.
For a customer operating the recycling industry, the maintenance team has noticed a significant reduction in downtime, resulting in longer intervals between maintenance periods. This also means an increase in the lifetime of the equipment. Further decreases were also noted in the energy consumption of the equipment, assisted by the knowledge and experience from Welding Alloys and our understanding of advanced wear protection. The partnership allows us to further improve part performance with real-time testing.
These positive changes have also been noted by the operations team, who now know exactly when maintenance is planned over 12 months, so shutdowns can be planned more effectively. This planning also allows for a yearly maintenance budget to be allocated in advance. The reduction in unexpected shutdowns helps reduce the total cost of equipment ownership.
Welding Alloys prides itself on working with customers as their partner, providing many benefits for improving processes and increasing productivity.
