Horizontal grinders are used across the industrial landscape to process feedstocks of varying sizes and toughness. During standard operation, horizontal grinder parts consistently process feedstocks into profitable end products—meaning parts wear down over time.
The grinder parts most affected by operational wear are known as wear parts and require replacement over time. Wear parts can include teeth, tooth mounts, screens, fasteners, and belt flashing. Inspecting and replacing wear parts is a key aspect of horizontal grinder service and preventative maintenance. However, to make timely horizontal grinder repairs and minimize downtime, worksites need access to parts.
On-Site Parts with Rotochopper Uptime Parts Kits
When it comes to repairing a horizontal grinder, customers can choose to either order wear parts on demand from the Rotochopper service team, or store grinder spare parts kits at their facility. Often, it’s a good idea for grinder operators to keep at least one spare parts kit on hand, especially if they process highly abrasive feedstocks, as doing so ensures there will always be uptime parts available for quick repairs and emergency maintenance.
As a leader in the horizontal grinder service industry, Rotochopper offers our clients comprehensive uptime parts kits to cut down on maintenance response times and keep grinders operating at peak efficiency.
What’s Included in a Rotochopper Uptime Parts Kit?
Our grinder uptime parts kits are equipped with items operators need to keep Rotochopper grinders in good working condition, including replacement tooth mounts and fasteners, belt flashing and tools, and more. Items will vary depending on the model of your machine.
Standard vs. Enhanced Uptime Kits
When deciding between a Standard and an Enhanced Rotochopper uptime kit, the key factor to consider is the level of wear and tear your operation typically experiences. For applications that are less abrasive and generally easier on equipment, the Standard uptime kit is often the ideal choice, offering reliable performance without unnecessary upgrades. However, if your grinding operation tends to involve more demanding materials that increase maintenance needs, an Enhanced uptime kit could be the better option to ensure your equipment remains efficient and downtime is minimized. Each kit is tailored to meet the specific maintenance demands of different operational intensities.
Standard kits include basic wear parts and maintenance items, while the enhanced kits are more robust. If you aren’t sure which option is the best for you, a Rotochopper expert can help.
