Aligning Crusher Wear Liner Life with Extended Maintenance Intervals — for Increased Throughput

The Situation — A Mismatched Circuit In a production-driven environment—especially with low-to-medium grade gold—throughput is the primary KPI. However, in practice, maximum liner life alone is not the objective. The real challenge is maintenance synchronisation. If wear cycles do not align with: * Fixed shutdown windows * Overhead crane availability 👉 Operational

Doing More with Less: Aligning Chute Wear Life During Plant Expansion

The Situation In the Australian gold industry, plant expansion often comes with a constraint: You are expected to manage more — with the same, or fewer, people During a recent expansion, this became a practical reality. As the new circuit came online: * Maintenance capacity was stretched * Skilled labour availability was limited
