Rio-Carb diversifying its wear liner solutions
From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, this is the Real Economy Report.
Sashnee Moodley:
Wear liners manufacturer Rio-Carb is diversifying its product range, which will enable the company to enter new markets, such as earthmoving and agriculture, and expand their operations locally and internationally. Marleny Arnoldi tells us more.
Marleny Arnoldi:
Rio-Carb GM Sias Suurd says the company is working to diversify its product portfolio by introducing new materials, such as rubber and ceramics, to manufacture its wear liners other than its signature Chromium Carbide wear liners used in the mining industry.
Rio-Carb GM Sias Suurd:
Marleny Arnoldi:
Rio-Carb is also in the early stages of planning and developing technologies to enhance its service offering and support product features. Using technologies such as big data, can allow for predictive maintenance on site and it facilitates accurate estimates of product or equipment life in processing plants.
Rio-Carb GM Sias Suurd:
Marleny Arnoldi:
Rio-Carb anticipates to develop a smart liner that uses ultrasonic thickness testing technology, which allows real-time online monitoring while a plant is operating. A smart liner can gather and compile specific information on wear per ton every hour, which will ultimately ensure ease of maintenance and replacement planning.
