Reduction in casting costs.

The existing cyclone showed casting porosity issues due to operating pressures causing unscheduled replacement. The replacement cost was high.

There was no regular OEM maintenance or reporting activities in place.

The HICTECH team designed and manufactured replacement 27% chromecast cyclones.

The results achieved the two primary goals of reducing casting porosity and a reduced capital equipment cost.

In this case the customer decided to engage HIC Services to provide regular inspection, reporting, and maintenance of the 1300 cyclone.

This resulted in further benefits where the cyclone showed increased operation through lower wear rates and an overall lower maintenance cost.
