TRIGGERING A CHAIN REACTION

TREOTHAM DISCUSSES HOW ITS EASY-TO-INSTALL ENERGY CHAIN SOLUTIONS CAN IMPROVE THE FUNCTIONALITY OF MINING OPERATIONS.

- 

Equipment failures and downtime can lead to very costly disruptions, so it is critical mining operations adopt technologies that enhance durability and streamline processes.

A leader in industrial automation and energy chain solutions, Treotham is helping mining companies with cutting-edge systems designed to replace outdated equipment and improve operational efficiency.

The company's energy chain systems have already proven their effectiveness in various bulk handling industries, including shipping, rail and manufacturing.

A recent refit project at a train manufacturing facility highlighted how replacing outdated festoon systems with energy chains has several advantages and can save operators money by avoiding unscheduled maintenance downtime. The transition from a festoon system to an energy chain significantly improved functionality, reducing instances where chilled water lines would freeze and damage equipment.

The train refit project demonstrated the importance of integrating flexible and adaptable systems that cater to demanding conditions, an approach well-suited to the dynamic nature of mining and port operations.

A key advantage of Treotham's process is the ability to replace ageing, inefficient systems with modern solutions that require less maintenance.

Treotham national sales manager John Sharp emphasised that mining operations often face challenges when integrating new technology due to pre-existing infrastructure constraints.
