Conveyor Sprocket Replacement
A mining mill operator ran into a problem where a sprocket which was part of a conveyor system failed, shutting down the entire mill. Unfortunately, the operator's only spare sprocket was one that was used, and new replacements were no longer available. Therefore they were left with the problem that before they could install the sprocket, it needed to be reverse engineered, so that new replacements could be manufactured.
Millson Design Solutions was contacted and within a half hour of arriving onsite, had scanned the sprocket which obtained all the information required to reverse engineer the sprocket and allowed the mine to install the spare and get the mill back into operation. Within two days of completing the scan, Millson Design Solutions had reverse engineered and created detailed fabrication drawing, complete with cutfiles, so new sprockets could be quickly manufactured, so the mill would have replacement ready, when the sprockets next needed replacement
