CPS and SKF Partnership: Setting a New Standard for Conveyor Quality and Performance
Posted at Marzo 21, 2024Trusted Excellence
Renowned for our commitment to quality and performance, CPS has earned a global reputation as a trusted partner for conveyor companies across the globe – and our pursuit of excellence doesn’t stop there. At CPS, we continually seek strategic partnerships to enhance our conveyor products and services offering and provide customers with innovative and fit-for-purpose solutions.
CPS and SKF Partnership
A pivotal partnership for CPS is with SKF, a global leader in bearing and rotating technology. This collaboration merges our conveyor expertise with SKF’s renowned bearings and engineering proficiency, delivering unparalleled performance and reliability to conveyor systems.
CPS’ SKF-Equipped Products
Under the “SKF Equipped” banner, we offer a comprehensive range of conveyor products integrating SKF’s high-quality bearings and advanced engineering solutions. These SKF Equipped products are designed to optimise conveyor performance, minimise downtime, increase reliability, and maximise productivity across various industrial applications.
Elevating Conveyor Reliability
In a recent interview with CPS and SKF, we highlighted one of our notable projects. “This is the first project in the world that we’re aware of in terms of long overland conveyors using fully composite roller solutions.”, Warren Sexton, CPS General Manager, said. This pioneering endeavour, tackling the challenges of Australian mining terrain, involved approximately 150,000 meticulously engineered SKF bearings.
Sexton stated: “Long-term reliability with SKF bearings is extremely good and often outperforms what is theoretically catalogued or possible within the industry.” Matt Einhorn, CPS GM – Commercial & Finance, also added: “It’s critical that we understand how the products are going to perform, and we have good confidence in the reliability of those products out there in the mining region.”
This reliability was accentuated further by the joint efforts of SKF and CPS in designing customised seals and grease types, as noted by SKF Australia Managing Director Simon Flint: “We worked closely with CPS to design specific seals and grease types for the bearing. Combined with their housing seal design, it was a perfect match, delivering exceptional reliability.” “It’s a relationship built on trust and understanding, and we’ve always worked very closely together.”, Einhorn added.
Sexton noted that this collaboration with SKF is “A flagship project for the world in terms of power consumption and tracking performance on such a long and complex geometry of conveyor systems.”
Einhorn highlighted: “All in all, I think for all parties involved, it was a great success story. I think it’s changed the way that the mining industry views conveying going forward.”
CPS’s partnership with SKF and the integration of SKF Equipped solutions represent a significant advancement in conveyor technology.
Delivering enhanced durability, reduced maintenance costs, improved efficiency, and customised conveyor solutions, CPS’ and SKF’s partnership has set a new standard for conveyor reliability and performance for conveyor operations worldwide.
