Result
Two years later:
- Lifetime increased
- No output drop recorded
- No increase in spesific grinding energy
The customer satisfaction was illustrated by a repeat order of this new technology. Even without considering the additional lifetime, the savings on grinding efficiency and hence on electrical power are estimated at 1,000,000 USD over the two years of lifetime.
