Photography — Surface

Si-Tec® ceramic shoes out of a Canica 2350 after a full set life in frack sand, wear faces up in a row so the wear is comparable across the set.

Measured on site

Throughput per set of shoes increased 28%, from a baseline of 18,000 tons per set.

The record

Read the baseline first.

The improvement only means something against what the machine was doing before it. Published 23 January 2020.

Baseline

What the customer was running

  • Five-shoe table running at 1085 RPM
  • Feed of 550 TPH and above
  • Feed size of 2.5" minus (frack sand)
  • 18,000 tons per set of shoes

Objective

What the change was meant to do

  • Increase tons per hour per set of shoes
  • Extend wear life of castings

Results

What was measured

  • Throughput per set of shoes increased 28% over the 18,000-ton baseline

Value delivered

What it was worth to the operation

  • Fewer change-outs results in increased machine up time and improved safety

What these numbers are not.

A wear part that lasts twice as long in Tennessee sandstone can do nothing of the kind in Idaho RAP, because the rock, the tonnage, and the geometry are different. Nothing here is a warranty and nothing here is a specification. What SI will do is measure your part in your circuit and put the numbers against the ones you have now.

Service life in hours or tons, the feed material, and photographs of where the wear actually is. That is enough to say whether Si-Tec® changes anything in your circuit.
