Lubricants for Mining applications

Equipment working at mining sites need to perform reliably and efficiently, without major breakdown and other issues. Safe and efficient operation is imperative for mining equipment to increase productivity and safety in mining operations. Lubricants play a major role in this by minimising wear and tear of machinery parts and safeguard the equipment in the harshest conditions.

Filters for efficiency

Water or particulates can cause microscopic surface damage that is then focused on by the high-pressure fuel flow, which causes wear that will eventually lead to reduced efficiency and complete breakdown.

Safeguarding equipment from wear and tear

Effective and efficient filtration is essential to protect equipment from contamination of various mediums: air, fuel, hydraulic oil, lubricants, water and others. Ingress of contaminants within the medium can cause excessive wear, eventually leading to equipment breakdown.
