In the world of lean manufacturing, the principle of “creating flow” is key. It’s about ensuring every element, from personnel and equipment to materials and shipping, works together seamlessly so products move smoothly through production. A well-organized workspace equals reduced production time, inventory, and material handling.
A practical way to achieve this flow is by locating interdependent processes closer together. At a crushing site, for instance, placing a secondary crusher near the primary crusher reduces transportation between stages.
This flow-focused approach greatly enhances production efficiency. Yet, it’s often overlooked in areas beyond production – like repair and machining services.
That’s changing now.
At NorX, we’re expanding our field crusher services and machining to help crushing sites streamline operations by eliminating equipment transport for maintenance. Let’s explore these offerings and how they can benefit your crushing operation.
Field Crusher Service: Expert Maintenance On-Site
When we say “service,” we mean work on major components – bushings, bearings, liners, and more. It’s like transmission service for your car, not just an oil change.
Traditionally, this level of service happens as needed in a shop. Machines are shipped, repaired, and returned. But with NorX’s field service, trained technicians come to you, servicing your crusher on-site.
The Advantages of Field Crusher Service
Yes, field service may be costlier than shop service due to labor costs. But the speed it offers can offset this. Shipping and permits take time, delaying production. NorX gets technicians on-site quickly to minimize downtime and keep you running.
Field Machining: Precision Work Where You Need It
Machining involves removing, shaping, or fabricating materials to fit your design. NorX’s field machining brings this expertise to your crushing site. Our teams of technicians and welders bring the tools and get to work on components as needed.
Field machining is rare in the industry due to the specialized training required. NorX is investing in expanding this capability to serve you better.
The Benefits of Field Machining
Like field service, on-site machining is often faster than shipping equipment. It’s also more cost-effective at sites where removing the crusher is complex – like indoor or underground locations. NorX’s field machining minimizes the need for costly disassembly or crane rental.
