Choosing a new mill lining system is a vital decision. As the main power behind grinding, the mill liner plays a crucial role in protecting the shell from erosion. When mill liners age, they lose their ability to grind minerals efficiently. Replacing your mill liner is crucial maintenance that needs to happen routinely.
Price isn’t the only factor in finding a new mill liner. There are several vital considerations when choosing a new mill lining system. Here are a few of them.
Optimization
Searching for steel mill liners can be an arduous process. Finding a liner that’s optimized for your mill will make your mill production more efficient overall. As mill liners age, their ability to grind diminishes. Finding a supplier that can engineer the best fit with the best technology is vital to maintaining your throughput.
With a liner that’s specifically designed for your operating conditions, you will reduce costs incurred with maintenance, and your uptime will increase.
Optimizing the mill liner to your machine increases both output and the quality of the grind due to more efficient charging action. Controlling the charge motion will reduce the erosion on the mill liner. Keeping the grinding on the top and inside of the charge extends the lifetime of the mill liner. The longer the lifetime of your liner, the less maintenance you’ll need, and the more you can maximize your uptime.
Maintenance
One of the main considerations when choosing a new mill lining system is your maintenance schedule. Reducing the maintenance for your mill increases your output by reducing mill stoppages. Replacing a mill liner means stopping production, and with a suitable material and the correct fit, your mill liner will need less upkeep. It’s essential to find a liner that will fit into your production schedule.
