Vehicle Manufacturer Reduces Cost of Abrasives By $12,000 Annually
Challenge:
An asphalt roadbuilding equipment manufacturer was quickly going through their current cut-off wheels, which was adding up in cost. The manufacturer was looking for a wheels with a longer life, and less expensive cost.
Solution:
LineDrive suggested the CGW 36381 4 ½” Fast Cut Wheel for the manufacturer to trial. The CGW wheel lasted longer than the previously used wheel and cost 33% less.
Cost Avoidance:
The manufacturer purchases about 1,000 wheels per month. With the new CGW wheel being a dollar less than the old wheel, and lasting longer, the manufacturer will save $12,000 a year in wheel costs.
