The Challenge
The miner was experiencing high maintenance costs and downtime, spending 30 days per year changing out breaker screens. Their existing solution was only lasting three to five months. They were also hoping to eliminate confined space work and reduce maintenance on three rotary breaker trommels consisting of 64 screens in each.
