Stonewin wheel assemblies fitted with separate polyurethane bands allow maintenance to focus on the worn component. This feature should be confirmed for the specific wheel assembly supplied with the machine.

1.Replace the affected band on a compatible assembly

On Stonewin wheel assemblies fitted with separate polyurethane bands, a worn band can be replaced individually instead of replacing a complete one-piece ring. This allows maintenance to focus on the affected component. Confirm the correct profile and replacement method for your wheel assembly, and follow the maintenance manual when inspecting or replacing bands.

2.Understand the maintenance benefit

A separate band is an individual service item rather than part of a complete one-piece lining. When the wheel assembly permits it, replacing the affected band limits the scope of the replacement. Actual maintenance time and cost depend on the condition of the assembly, the procedure and the parts required; they should not be expressed as a universal saving.

3.Identify the correct spare part

Provide the machine model, serial number, wheel location and photographs of the existing band and groove. Include the part number if available. Confirm the correct profile before ordering, rather than selecting a replacement only because its appearance is similar.

4.Inspect the surrounding wheel system

Band replacement belongs within the machine maintenance process. Follow the manual for inspection and replacement, and check whether related wear or alignment issues need attention. Stop and isolate the equipment before hands-on maintenance. Use the documented procedure before returning the machine to operation.
