Customer: Major manufacturer of Home Building Products
Application: Wet Screen (Wet cutting process to remove excess oversized stone/concrete products)
Problem Overview: Chain is lasting less than 30 days
Original Products used: Standard #60 Roller Chain
Solution provided by MAXCO: 60 PCP Coated & Seal Guard Chain
Initial Benefits: Maxco product lasted over 6 months before needing to be replaced
Recognized Cost Savings:
Cost of Maxco Seal Guard PCP2 vs Plain Chain $1,100 vs. $450 = $650
Downtime per hour $2,000 X 4 hours installation time = $8,000
Operating cost of chains per year: Maxco $10,200 Competitor $95,800 (includes lost production)
Total Savings using Maxco Chain: $85,000/year
Benefits over other sealed & coated chains: Competitor’s rubber seals deteriorated much faster due to the grit in the water used in the wet cutting process. Maxco PCP coating is coated before and after assembly ensuring all components of the chain are protected from the wet environment.
