An RME Mid-Life Major Service is a sound investment in the ongoing reliability of your RUSSELL equipment. This type of condition-based maintenance servicing ensures your RUSSELL Mill Relining Machines (MRMs), RUSSELL Mill Liner Handlers (MLHs) and RUSSELL Feed Chute Transporters (FCTs) are ready to perform to their full potential for a safe and reliable reline. 

In a Mid-Life Service key working components are inspected, tested, refurbished and replaced, where required. Our unique Asset Support Platform and regionally based, factory trained, service personnel ensure all Mid-Life Services are completed thoroughly and efficiently, saving money and ensuring RUSSELL equipment availability is maximised.

RME Mid-Life Major Service includes approximately 400 tests and inspections, and replacement or reconditioning of around 2000 parts.

BENEFITS

  • A Mid-Life Service focuses on the front-line areas of your equipment, allowing your RUSSELL MRM, RUSSELL MLH or RUSSELL FCT to continue its reliable and efficient use for its full life.
  • This condition-based service focuses on the most degraded areas affecting your RUSSELL equipment performance to ensure the most effective allocation of your maintenance budget.
  • Mid-Life Servicing reduces mill relining operational risk and ensures, on your mine site, that future mill reline events are predictable.
  • A genuine OEM-delivered service on your RUSSELL equipment significantly reduces the risk of unplanned down time from any previous improper operational or maintenance practices.
