Mining Maintenance & Monitoring | Cut Downtime & Prevent Catastophic Failure

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 the maintenance and optimal performance of heavy duty mining and quarrying equipment.
| What our clients say about us "We can react quickly to warning signs and make confident and informed on-the-spot judgments. The tool gives us information that we’ve never had access to onboard before Not only is this tool improving the safety of the operation even further, it is also reducing the amount of lube oil that we use and saving us significant amounts of money." Anton Hessenius, Technical Superintendent, Reederei Buss. |
Kittiwake's Quarry and Mining Maintenance equipment 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 quarry and mining equipment availability while simultaneously minimising costs.
