Mining and Quarrying operations use lubricants on their heavy equipment that must be robust and effective in the harshest of operating environments, both on the surface and underground.

In Quarries and Mines, lubricants are used under very high loads and widely varying temperatures. The movement of rock and mineral ores is heavy, dusty, dirty, and sometimes, very wet work.  When these conditions are imposed on large bearings, engine or gearbox lubricants and transport systems, the lubricant can degrade rapidly, resulting in increased wear and equipment failure over extended periods.  Regular sampling and testing of lubricants operating under these extreme conditions is the only way to ensure optimal performance from heavy duty mining and quarrying equipment. 

Kittiwake's product range is designed for use by engineers in remote and inhospitable sites, where laboratory oil analysis is simply impractical.
  • Oil Test Centres and Test Kits are perfect for onsite use and industrial applications where rapid reliable results are required.
  • Kittiwake's unique ANALEX range of machinery and oil condition monitors provide both an off-line monitoring and on-line, remote condition monitoring capability, enabling engineers to preserve equipment availability while simultaneously minimising costs.
