Customer: Petrokimia Gresik, a leading fertilizer group in Indonesia.

Industry: Fertilizer Manufacturing

Product Supplied: P152.4-K2-E2P Complete Bucket Elevator Chain Set, including matched head and tail segmental sprockets.

Challenge:

Petrokimia Gresik required a highly reliable bucket elevator system for a critical vertical conveying line handling corrosive fertilizer materials. The primary challenge was to combat severe abrasion and chemical corrosion to ensure uninterrupted production, minimize maintenance downtime, and achieve a long service life in a demanding 24/7 operational environment.

SHINING Solution:

In 2022, SHINING supplied a complete, heavy-duty conveying solution tailored to this challenge:

• Superior Material & Process: The P152.4-K2-E2P chain was manufactured using high-grade, corrosion-resistant alloy steels and subjected to proprietary heat treatment processes, meeting the rigorous standards of top-tier international brands to maximize wear and corrosion resistance.

• Precision-Matched System: The chain set was delivered with precisely engineered head and tail sprockets, ensuring perfect meshing and smooth, vibration-free operation from the start.

• Localized Support Network: The solution was backed by SHINING's established local distributor channel in Indonesia, providing expert installation supervision, immediate technical support, and scheduled preventive maintenance visits.

Results & Performance:

Since its commissioning in 2022, the SHINING bucket elevator system has been in continuous operation at Petrokimia Gresik. Key results include:

Proven Reliability: The system has maintained excellent operational condition for over 4 years, demonstrating exceptional durability against corrosion and wear.

Minimized Downtime: The robust design and quality construction have resulted in predictable performance and significantly reduced unplanned stoppages.

Sustainable Partnership: The combination of a reliable product and responsive local service support has ensured optimal system uptime, contributing to the customer's production efficiency and fostering a strong, ongoing partnership.
