Customer Reports Up To 700 Hours Service Life From Maspro Breakout Jaws

Customer Context

Operating Environment

At a mining operation in Western Australia, breakout jaws were being replaced after an average of approximately 125 operating hours, prompting a search for improved service life.

Core Issue

The original breakout jaws were delivering an average service life of approximately 125 operating hours before replacement was required. To address this, MASPRO developed a revised jaw design incorporating 10mm tungsten inserts and supplied the upgraded components for field evaluation. The objective was simple: determine whether the redesigned jaws could achieve a meaningful improvement in service life compared with the previous design.
