* Global Partners
Global Partners Alliance L.L.C. of Bettendorf, Iowa, has become the exclusive North American sales agent for SWB Stahlformguss of Bochum, Germany, a foundry producing wear parts for metal recycling equipment. SWB is the world’s only manufacturer of differentially-hardened alloy hammers for shredding equipment, according to Global Partners’ Principal Officer Patrick Comparin.
SWB makes its hammers using a proprietary heat-treatment process that produces softer pin bores for increased hammer pin life as well as a harder impact surface along the critical wear area of the hammer. According to Mr Comparin, every SWB casting undergoes independent inspection using a magnetic particle process to check for possible cracks and ultrasonic methods to assess the material’s structure. Also, all castings have their dimensions checked so that components with the same weight can be shipped and installed together, ensuring that the wear parts will be in balance and run smoothl ... more
