Engineering Solutions

Cement
Application: Grinding of limestone and cement

Cement

The Company’s origins is in the cement production business, where it has thrived for many years. AIA has a long history of delivering worn part solutions to the cement industry. AIA has developed expertise in metallurgy, grinding application, and component design and provides parts for tube mills and vertical mills. AIA’s manufacturing approach improves component working life significantly as compared to standard procedures. With the Company’s consistent success in this business, it has been able to develop innovative solutions that have been proven to reduce maintenance costs and increase customer cost-effectiveness.

Mining
Application: Mineral ore grinding prior to processing for separation of different materials

Mining

Reduced downtime is critical for successful mining operations, thus wear components that perform harder and last longer are critical. The Company has developed unique alloys and manufacturing techniques for all types of minerals, including iron, gold, lead/zinc, bauxite, copper, phosphates, and others, offering enhanced wear components. Furthermore, the Company has developed mill lining solutions that enable clients to achieve better throughputs while reducing running costs such as electricity and wear components.

Thermal
Application: Coal grinding prior to entering the boiler

Thermal

The Company assists power plants throughout the world in lowering their generating costs by designing components that minimise downtime and maintenance expenses significantly. The Company manufactures wear components for pulverises, which are used to grind and crush coal before it is fed into boilers at thermal power plants. Vertical mills and tube mills are used to pulverise coal in these plants. The Company has improved the production and composition of grinding media as well as shell liners as compared to conventionally produced media, resulting in efficiency gains of 200% to 300%. The Company has also been witnessing an impressive reduction in wear rate for its products.

Quarry
Application: Crushing of aggregates

Quarry

The Company has developed new alloys and manufacturing techniques for various types of minerals, including iron, gold, lead/zinc, bauxite, copper, and phosphates, to deliver enhanced wear components. This aids in the reduction of downtime, which is crucial to the success of quarrying operations.
