P&H 4100XPC Queensland Coal  A Queensland Coal Mine operates electric rope shovels, these machines suffered frequent production losses to dipper trip mechanism failure.  This had the effect of shutting down the shovels themselves and standing down of the haul truck fleets.  Revised and optimised system components, along with improved alignment overcame the problem.  Challenge

    Here are some examples of hydraulic failure clean-up in mining trucks, excavators, dozers, loaders. 
Mag-Shield removes iron from contaminated systems, allows fast repairs with no follow-on failures.   1. Mag Shield in CAT 793D after normal operation                               2. CAT 777F after component failure   Find out more about Mag-Shield here or contact s...

A NSW Coal Mine operating heavy excavators was suffering down-time due to failure of lubrication lines.  Wearite bushes were fitted to these machines, achieving 10,000hr life and reducing machine down-time.  Industry: Coal Mining                   Product: Wearite Blue Excavator Bushes Challenge A NSW Coal mine operated Hitachi EX3600 and EX5600 excavators as their principal digging equipment.  These machines had for yea...

  A. Polymer bushes such as Wearite can replace lubricated steel bushes in many parts of the excavator mechanism.  These materials are rated to the duty of heavy mining applications and can operate without lubrication.  Wearite users have been able to reduce the number of vulnerable lubrication lines and thus reduce downtime associated with failures in these lines.  Experience in excavators in the 300 tonne + class has shown a trouble-free life over.  Savings are ...

 

 

A - Rare earth magnetic filtration systems remove most, but not all iron contamination from hydraulic systems; typically 60-70%.  The effect on oil analysis is that any trends in iron remain intact, just at a lower base-line.
