Challenge
A fleet of Hitachi EX5600 excavators operated at a Queensland coal mine were suffering lost time due to high rates of Contamination Sensor Alarms. These alarms necessitated stopping the machine while maintenance checked and cleaned the sensors before the machine could start again.
Further, the elevated levels of iron in the machine's hydraulic system were causing reduced component life. Solution After hearing of success with similar Hitachi machines...

FAQ - How does magnetic filtration effect oil analysis and failure prediction?
Posted by Chris Padman
on 10 July 2020
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.
