The sample location is a primary feed chute in AR400: 6 plates, other parts, 16 crew hours, and 10 hours down. The plant runs 50 operating weeks. 900,000 tons a year pass through the location. The current life in the sheet is 12 weeks. The alternative is a higher-priced plate entered at 26 weeks. That 26 weeks is not a wear-rate claim, and these cells are not editable.
| Current plate · 12 weeks | Alternative plate · 26 weeks | |
|---|---|---|
| Per change-out | $15,710 | $17,870 |
| Annual cost | $65,458 | $34,365 |
| Cost per ton | $0.073 | $0.038 |
| Wear life | 216,000 tons | 468,000 tons |
At those entered lives the alternative saves $31,093 a year in this sample, about 47.5%. Your plant will not match these figures.
A signed-in 30-day free trial covers 3 wear locations on a plant. A plant license is $79 per month and opens 20. Nothing on this page accepts your numbers.
Enter the plate you run now and the plate you are considering, such as an AR plate versus a chromium carbide overlay. Put in each price and the life you expect. LinerHQ shows the comparison from those entries. It does not claim which plate lasts longer. You supply the life from your own history, a trial, or a quote.
Create an account for a 30-day free trial, 3 locations, and no card. Billing for a plant license starts when that trial ends.
