Mining companies have a diverse range of equipment:
- Earthmoving
- Drilling
- Conveying
- Coal washing
- Loading facilities to light vehicle fleets
Maintaining and operating the equipment are typically the highest costs outside of the original purchase price.
Costly loss of production due to machine component failure are critical to a mine’s bottom line. Mining is often carried out in difficult and remote environments, with highly abrasive dust a fact of life. Filter Technology products are designed specifically to cope with these conditions. Filtration plays an important part in the machine’s longevity. Whether it be air, oil, fuel, or a breather, preventing ingress of foreign particles into a machine will increase machine life. Contamination accelerates oil degeneration. The cleaner your oil and fuel systems, the longer your components will last.
Filter Technology products used in mining environments include:
- Engine Oil
- Hydraulic, Transmission, Gear Box Oil
- Fuel
Customer’s experience has proven that installing Filter Technology QLD filtration systems will significantly lower your company’s operating costs.
