Our innovative composite bushes were developed in response to a Potential Fatal Incident (PFI) where excessive force was required to remove steel bushes, leading to a high-risk situation.
Through extensive field trials, our engineered composite solution has proven to significantly reduce removal force, eliminate the risk of uncontrolled energy release, and enhance the longevity of reclaimer bucket wheel components.
Veyex’s composite bushes are now the standard across an entire fleet of Iron Ore Reclaimers, providing a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional carbon-manganese steel bushes.
- Improved Safety – Eliminates high-risk procedures by reducing the force required for pin removal.
- Proven Performance – Successfully trialed over a 52-week period with no failures or issues.
- Lower Maintenance Effort – Pins can be removed with significantly less force, often without hydraulic pulling equipment.
- Eliminates Risk of Uncontrolled Energy Release – Prevents incidents like the shearing of a 24mm threaded bar that previously caused major damage.
- Standardised Across Fleet – Now implemented on all Iron Ore Bucket Wheel Reclaimers.
- Designed for Extreme Conditions – Capable of handling throughput rates of up to 16,000 TPH in iron ore applications.
