Operational Excellence Applied to the Maintenance of Critical Equipment
IPSYCOM Achieves a 23-Hour Reduction in Mill Lining Replacement at Minera Las Bambas
In mining, every hour of uptime counts, and a maintenance intervention carried out outside the scheduled timeframe can directly impact a plant’s operational continuity and productivity.

In this context, IPSYCOM LATAM completed the replacement of liners on a ball mill at Minera Las Bambas in 69 hours—compared to the scheduled 92 hours—achieving results that exceeded expectations and once again demonstrating its technical capability, operational efficiency, and strict adherence to timelines during a highly demanding project.

The service was scheduled to last 92 hours. However, IPSYCOM’s specialized team completed the work in 69 hours, saving 23 hours compared to the scheduled time. This result represents an execution time approximately 25% shorter than initially planned, while maintaining a focus on a safe, controlled operation aimed at restoring operational availability.

For a mining operation, saving 23 hours means more than just finishing ahead of schedule: it means reducing the downtime window and speeding up the equipment’s return to operation.

A result that underscores our ability to service critical equipment
This success story reinforces IPSYCOM’s value proposition as a strategic partner for mining operations that require specialized maintenance and liner replacement services, where execution efficiency has a direct impact on asset availability.
