A crushed granite customer was experiencing excessive downtime due to screen changes and higher costs from purchasing too many screens. The cost to the customer for downtime is approximately $4,000.00 per hour, and screen changes take approximately 4 hours every two weeks.
To find a solution, the customer agreed to conduct a side-by-side test of our competitors’ 3/4” space .312 diameter woven wire screens with Buffalo's 3/4” space .312 diameter Gator Wire™ screens.
The conclusion of the side-by-side test showed that Buffalo's Gator Wire™ screens increased the customer’s screen life by 300%, from 2 weeks to 6 weeks. The customer saved approximately $20,000 annually from purchasing nine sets of Buffalo's Gator Wire™ screens compared to 26 sets from the competitor. The customer gained an estimated 68 hours in reduced downtime, equivalent to $272,000 in additional revenue.
