“Equipment owners and operators want a more efficient use of capital. They want lower-cost solutions and reduced maintenance costs, yet they want to maximize output and uptime, and optimize the lifecycle management of the equipment,” says Michael Hagberg, parts sales manager for Telsmith; and general manager for its newly-formed Mining Resource Solutions, which sources, manufactures, and distributes OEM-quality replacement parts to aggregate and mining operations worldwide. Hagberg explains that upon its launch in January 2016, Mining Resource Solutions will manufacture and/or source wear parts for competitive minerals processing equipment that includes brands such as Metso, Sandvik, Extec, and McCloskey equipment.
Initially, he says, the product offering will focus on parts for various makes of cone crushers, jaw crushers, and impactors; and will include manganese, bronze parts, head & shaft assemblies, upper and lower frames, toggles and toggle seats, drivetrain components, and more. “As the market demands, we’re poised for growth that will focus on additional parts offerings for most facets of the processing plant,” he says. “Customers want a reliable partner and a single-source for parts, and we’re able to capitalize upon our manufacturing expertise and our precise supply chain management skills to provide competitively-priced OEM-quality replacement parts with an availability to meet critical uptime requirements. We have the agility to react very quickly to the needs of producers. Our approach is looking at a bigger picture to create solutions that benefit overall productivity and plant longevity,” says Hagberg.
He goes on to explain that Mining Resource Solutions is a strategic partner that can assist operations with monitoring parts usage and parts reorder points, and projecting what parts will be required for good preventative maintenance. “Our team of regional parts support managers and service technicians help producers to be proactive rather than reactive to wear part needs so that they realize maximum uptime and productivity,” he says. “We see it as a lifecycle management mission that offers parts and service support designed to achieve the lowest cost per ton over the life of the equipment. In today’s full production environment, effective lifecycle management is quite valuable, as every hour of downtime is lost revenue that cannot be recovered,” he stresses.
According to the company, Telsmith marks nearly 110 years of industry service, providing processing equipment and plants; and creating integrated solutions designed to improve efficiency, profitability and safety. “Telsmith is known and acknowledged for its strength in parts and service support. Mining Resource Solutions is another example of how we go that extra mile to maintain the level of customer support that aggregate and mining operations have expected from us for so many years,” he says.
