Process stability and equipment availability improved through development and introduction of radical low cost techniques.
Once the volume of solids was reduced, the grinders quality could be controlled more closely, by studying size variations and introducing extra control parameters the quality stabilised allowing the wheel life to be increased by the removal of unnecessary wheel dressing.
Extending the wheel life by 20% made further savings and process reliability resulted in instant increases in efficiency.
Concern
A high capacity grinding cell was giving poor performance requiring excessive maintenance, cleaning and a high grinding wheel turnover. High overtime levels were being sustained to maintain capacity.
Objective
Our objective was to identify areas of Luxury Panerai Replica improvement and install countermeasures to increase the equipment availability and reduce the out of hours working.
Method
The cast-iron particle carrying capacity of a central, water based coolant system was increased allowing the grinding cell, settlement tank and associate pipework to self clean, Cheap Panerai Replica thus removing the need for regular corrective cleaning actions.

Result
-
Efficiency improvements were achieved to a high capacity CBN grinding cell by installing low cost filter enhancements and a water conditioning treatment normally Panerai Replica Watches associated with hard water softening.
-
Grinding wheel life extended by 20%.
-
Overtime levels reduced.
-
Capacity increased.
-
Cleaning frequency dramatically reduced.
