MID-LIFE MAJOR SERVICES
An RME Mid-Life Major Service protects MRM integrity and is a sound investment in the ongoing reliability of your RUSSELL equipment.
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.
