Following a long partnership with Barrick\u2019s Pierina mine, Barrick\u2019s Lagunas Norte operation engaged H-E Parts to provide a Komatsu 730E-7 wheel group repair program. The Lagunas Norte open pit gold and silver mine is located within the Alto Chicama property in north-central Peru, with the property located on the western flank of the Peruvian Andes at an elevation<br>of 4000 meters (13,100 feet) above sea level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>H-E Parts put a maintenance regime in place and Lagunas Norte implemented the wheel groups. This involved re-manufacturing the 730E-7 wheel groups incorporating H-E Parts proprietary Birrana\u2122 enhancements, which included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li> The Birrana\u2122 control fit wheel bearing system,which includes<br>flexible spacer, hardened spacer, custom bearing design and<br> specifications, and preload adjustment. <\/li><li> Birrana\u2122 brake wear gauge allowing easy and fast brake wear<br> measurement, reduced downtime, and improved safety. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once in production, Birrana\u2122 enhanced wheel groups accomplished the required planned component replacement (PCR) time-frames while also achieving a lower cost per operating hours. The product quality and service received by Barrick was expected with H-E Parts having previously supplied front and rear wheel groups for their fleet of Caterpillar 785D haul trucks operating at Barrick Pierina mine site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>H-E Parts has now delivered over 40 wheel groups to Lagunas Norte.  Unlike other service options available to Lagunas Norte, H-E Parts has the ability to provide major mobile component solutions across a range of equipment brands. This allows our customers a single maintenance solution for their mobile fleets, which is backed by decades of global experience and performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"H-E Parts has had a long history of providing Barrick Gold Corporation (Barrick) with global solutions to improve mine maintenance [&hellip;]","protected":false},"featured_media":1205342,"template":"","tags":[],"class_list":["post-1205340","white-papers","type-white-papers","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.h-eparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/white-papers\/1205340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.h-eparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/white-papers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.h-eparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/white-papers"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.h-eparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1205342"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.h-eparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1205340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.h-eparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1205340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
