Ceramic media improves casting quality, reduces production time
The hydraulic breaker attachment, one of the most common attachments for a remote-controlled demolition machine, generates as much as 1,500 ft.-lbs. of force at its tip. Typical wear and tear is expected, which is why keeping up on breaker maintenance is vital to ensure optimum performance on the jobsite. “Operators […]
Better breaker maintenance leads to increased uptime
For cast pump components, and especially for the core and impeller, 3-D printing of the sand casting molds now eliminates the need for an entire post-processing step. The industry puts the post-processing time per impeller at an average of 10 to 15 minutes and this is exactly where clever companies […]
