Industry: Engine Driven (Agriculture)
Application : Dewatering
Machine : Dewatering Machine – using 314 PTO Bellhousing
Problems :
- User found that their existing friction material lifespan is getting shorter over time
- Having to replace the friction linings too often (at least twice a year), and;
- The downtimes for each machine is directly affecting the overall productivity
Solution :
User finally decided to reach out to PT RIK Industries Indonesia for their expertise in clutches & brakes.
After calculating and considering the problems faced, we proposed user to try out NACD Friction Linings, for their superior Materials (contains more copper flakes and gives better braking force)
User did a first-hand experiment by replacing 2 different machines with equivalent runtime for a comparison of the Existing Friction Lining vs NACD Friction Linings which newly recommended by PT RIK Industries Indonesia.
User made their own records, and their findings are:
- While the first machine is halted for replacement of the Existing Friction Linings, after 6 months. The second machine (using NACD Friction Linings) is still up for additional 2 months.
- Noticing the disparity in the lifespan & quality between the 2 brands, user placed their confidence in PT RIK Industries Indonesia’s expertise & advises – user decided to convert some of their existing PTO units to NACD PTOs.
- PT RIK Industries Indonesia also specifically noted down all machines conditions & potential turnovers – to ensure the readiness of the spareparts, facilitating to drastically shorten the downtime of the MROs.
Dewatering Machine – using 314 PTO Bellhousing
Existing Friction Lining – already worn out after half-year
Replacing of Existing Friction Lining every 6 months – causing downtime & affecting overall productivity
Existing Friction Lining – Teeth not durable & easily broken
NACD friction linings proved superiority in both quality & lifespan, user decided to even convert few of the existing PTOs in their Dewatering Machine to NACD 314 PTO Bellhousing.
