The building materials sector is incredibly diverse, with manufacturers producing a range of materials, from steel and concrete to timber and paper. However, as diverse as it is, CBC National Accounts Manager Wayne D’Souza says there are a number of common challenges that manufacturers face. “Production...
A common issue facing the producers of building materials is that components in their plant machinery are often no longer supported by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). This is why the elite engineering team of CBC Australia have an advantage over any other supplier of industrial...
When a piece of equipment fails, not only does it usually require costly repairs, but it also often shuts down production. This can lead to flow-on costs that build up the longer it takes for the problem to be solved, and in a competitive manufacturing market...
While wheel loaders and excavators are traditionally associated with mining and civil construction industries, such mobile equipment is a central component of any high capacity recycling plant. Given the often harsh and variable conditions of recycling facilities, equipment in the resource recovery space has a unique...
At the core of all recycling plants is the rotating equipment that keeps them functioning, whether that be in metal, glass or pulp and paper processing. CBC Australia is a recognised leader when it comes to the supply of industrial components such as bearings, power...
Pulp and paper production is a vital industry for Australia that delivers wide-ranging socio-economic benefits. The country’s pulp and paper mills support close to 70,000 full-time jobs – primarily in rural and regional areas – and contribute $3.7 billion to the economy1,2. Importantly, Australia’s percentage...
In the lead up to Christmas, Australia warms up and so does the consumer desire for a wider variety of seasonal produce. For food processors, however, summertime also brings with it the heightened risk of contamination. Food safety is a priority for food processors and manufacturers...
Coal mines are notoriously high-stress environments for machines to operate in due to the contamination of parts. Regular maintenance regimes are therefore essential to keep rotating equipment in working order in the larger coal mining operations. Wambo is an open-cut coal mine in the Hunter Valley...
Understanding the condition of a plant and its equipment allows for improved planning analysis, better utilisation of equipment, reduced downtime, reduced maintenance spend and ultimately improves the productivity of an operation. This is why condition monitoring is important for any mining operation, regardless of the...
