Bulk Handling Equipment – Replacement vs Refurbishment
At many existing bulk material handling facilities, equipment such as stackers, reclaimers and ore car dumpers are nearing the end of their design lives. Owners are faced with the decision on whether to refurbish existing or procure replacement machines. ASPEC’s program called FULS (Fatigue Useful Life Simulation) helps determine when to carry out machine replacement or major refurbishment.
