Existing N90 machines in Ethiopia create a continuing market for replacement components.
But the main problem is not simply finding “an N90 part.”
The real problem is finding the correct part with acceptable quality.
Common N90 wear parts
Fogera processors identified common N90 worn components including:
- polisher drum
- screen
- belt
Frequently failing systems also included milling-chamber and blower components.
Spare-parts availability in Fogera
The 2024 survey found that access to replacement parts was inconsistent.
Processors reported sourcing parts from:
- nearby towns
- Bahir Dar
- Addis Ababa
- other shops
- overseas manufacturers
Some processors modified existing parts or reused older components when suitable replacements could not be found.
A useful parts order starts with identification, quality requirements and repeat supply. Confirm the dimensions before agreeing on a quantity.
Before ordering an N90 part
Send:
1. Machine photo
Take a clear image of the full machine.
2. Nameplate
Include all visible numbers and manufacturer information.
3. Old part
Photograph the component from several angles.
4. Dimensions
Measure important:
- length
- diameter
- thickness
- holes
- shaft
- mounting points
5. Quantity
Tell us whether this is:
- emergency replacement
- maintenance stock
- dealer inventory
For Ethiopian dealers and repair shops
Instead of ordering one component at a time, dealers can consider a mixed wear-parts package based on the local installed machine base.
Possible categories:
- screens
- drums
- belts
- bearings
- transmission parts
- blower components
Exact compatibility must be confirmed before shipment.
