CASE STUDY – Mining & Cement

the problem

Vibrating tables are subject to some of the most demanding service conditions: strong repeated shocks and vibration. This is often the bottleneck of mining since the premature loosening of screens causes unplanned shutdowns. The unanticipated sieve replacement results in:

  • Reduced production throughput
  • A decrease in profitability
  • High labor costs
  • Higher warranty fees for the original equipment manufacturer if sieves are damaged before normal use time

The solution

Many customers have chosen ESL and ERM self-locking nuts for the operating performance, as well as for the ease and speed of maintenance.

One customer in particular needed the Gr.8 ERM 3/4 UNC nut with a striated washer that would ensure:

  • An easy first installation without seizing
  • The ability to loosen and tighten without completely unscrewing for quick maintenance
  • No damage to bolt threading
  • A washer with a holding capacity of more than 10,000 lbs of pressure

Benefits

The benefits of our ESL & ERM self-locking nut for our customers were immediate:

  • The customer needed their first parts within three weeks. It took some effort, but the J. Lanfranco team took on a challenge. CAD files and drawings were submitted to the customer within a week, and the first 700 parts were manufactured and delivered within two weeks. The ERM nuts allowed the customer to make 10 on/off while respecting all the criteria. J. Lanfranco company allows the mining industry and equipment manufacturers to reduce unplanned downtime, increase production while reducing maintenance times.
