In the United States, the mining sector is a significant industry, with nearly 13,000 active mines contributing approximately $61 billion to the economy. This sector primarily produces a range of critical commodities, underscoring the importance of efficient and cost-effective operations. Companies within this space are continuously seeking methods to enhance production while minimizing maintenance expenses for their specialized machinery.
At Nylatech, we have established strong partnerships with our distributors to develop wear-resistant components that significantly reduce maintenance costs and prolong the operational lifespan of mining equipment. Our innovation lies in utilizing materials infused with solid lubricant additives, which eliminate the need for start-up or ongoing lubrication. These materials are characterized by their high pressure-velocity capabilities and superior wear resistance, making them ideal for the demanding conditions of the mining industry.
We specialize in providing cast nylon parts designed to withstand the harsh environments of mining operations, particularly where sliding, rolling, abrasion, or impact wear is a concern. Our products include, but are not limited to:
- Bushings
- Wear plates
- Slide bearings
- Belt rope guide sheaves
- Valve seats
- Thrust bearings
- Drag line sheaves
- Axle nose cone bearings
- Seals
- Pivot bushings
- Rubbing blocks
- Guides
- Cams
- Gears
- Steering kingpin thrust bearings
- Track bogie wheel bushings
- Wear strips
Utilizing durable parts in mining equipment not only reduces the frequency of maintenance for the specific component but also for the machinery it interacts with. The cost and logistical challenges of pausing operations for repairs can be significant, making durability a key factor in saving both time and money.
We are eager to share more about how our cast nylon parts can benefit your mining operations. If you're interested in enhancing the efficiency and longevity of your mining equipment, we invite you to get in touch with us.
