Case History TAURUS ACH973E shear baler

THE CHALLENGE

Our costumer situated in Rovaniemi, Finland already owned 2 TAURUS shear balers. Due to expansion and because they were getting more demolition scrap, they needed a bigger and stronger shear.
They had two challenges for us to overcome. Challenge number one was their remoteness. Rovaniemi lies just below the Arctic Circle. It is one of Europe’s most remote cities, the nearest major city is Helsinki which lies 900KM to the south. Because of its remoteness, it is a big challenge for them to get spare parts and aftersales service.
The second challenge is overcoming the severe cold in winter. For at least 4 months of the year our costumer is covered in snow with the average temperature in January around minus 25 degrees, some days it gets right down to minus 35 degrees.

APPROACH

We offered to our client the latest model ACH973E shear baler with 900 tons of shear force and a 7,3 meter long squeeze box. The shear baler was fitted with a remote service feature and modem so that if there are any problems a C. E G. technician can dial in to the shears computer system remotely and make adjustments or repairs from the C. E G. head office in Italy. Most issues can be resolved remotely without the need to fly over a technician. This saves time and money.
The second challenge was solved by installing a cold weather pack, which includes fitting oil heaters to the hydraulic oil tank. The oil heaters quickly bring the oil up to a good working temperature allowing our client to keep working right throughout winter.

RESULTS

The costumer is very happy with their new shear. The extra cutting power from the 900 Tons of shear force means that they can easily process all of the material that comes to them, even heavy demolition scrap.
Recently they had to make a minor adjustment to the closing angle of a compression wing. In the past they would have had to wait for a technician to fly to them but now the adjustment was done by our technicians remotely from Italy within a few hours of them calling us.
“I am very happy with my new TAURUS shear” says the co-owner. “Because this is my third shear from TAURUS I know they are built tough and work reliably in the harsh Scandinavian climates.” Ajardos is the exclusive TAURUS distributor for Finland.
