The Challenge: Dragline Downtime Due to Glass Failure Saraji Coal Mine in Queensland faced a critical issue when a large impact shattered the front windscreen of a dragline. While the glass successfully protected the operator, the damage rendered the machine inoperable, leading to costly downtime.
Finding a replacement glass panel with the correct specifications proved impossible, as no stock was available, and manufacturing a new piece would take four weeks—an unacceptable delay for such essential equipment.
The GATGLASS® Solution: Immediate, High-Performance Replacement After two days of downtime, Saraji urgently needed an alternative. Leveraging our expertise and GATGLASS® 40psi monolithic polycarbonate, we provided a fast, effective solution.
Results & Future Implementation The mine superintendent was highly satisfied with the outcome, and Saraji Coal Mine is now trialing GATGLASS® across all their draglines. An audit of existing glass installations is underway, with the goal of implementing this innovative solution to enhance safety, reduce downtime, and improve operational efficiency.
