Smart casting leads the way in green, wear-resistant component production—U.S. customer conducts on-site factory inspection


2025-04-10

On April 8, a dedicated procurement team from a major U.S. heavy machinery brand made a special visit to Duma Machinery. Wear-resistant parts for crushers The casting base conducted a full-process factory audit of the casting process for core wear-resistant parts—such as jaw plates and gyratory crusher walls—that have already been ordered. Customers thoroughly examined 12 production steps, from raw material inspection to finished product packaging, and particularly praised the intelligent casting production line powered by photovoltaic energy.

During the factory audit, the 1800kW photovoltaic project covering the 20,000-square-meter plant premises became the focal point. The project generates an average of 6,000 kWh of electricity per day, meeting 30% of the casting workshop's energy needs—and reducing carbon emissions by 472 tons annually. "By directly utilizing solar energy for high-energy-consuming processes… Wear-resistant parts for crushers "Foundry—this model is definitely worth promoting," said the U.S. customer's technical director.

The factory specially showcased to customers its green production of wear-resistant components and energy-efficient scheduling strategies: By leveraging the off-peak electricity period at 2 a.m. for arc furnace melting, combined with daytime solar power supply, the plant has reduced energy consumption per ton of castings by 18%. This "photovoltaic + off-peak electricity" dual-track model has also helped the company cut overall electricity costs by 23%.
