Until recently, a lack of pressure on margins and in some cases, a lack of competition, has insulated many mining companies from the volatility that has driven business transformation elsewhere.

Pumps are one of the crucial components in industrial process plants. Many types of pumps are available in the market and selecting a suitable pump will depend on the type of liquid to be pump, how far the liquid would travel and the volume of liquid to be moved. Axial piston pumps utilize the principle … Continue reading Monitoring gaps in axial piston pumps →

Conveying systems are essential to any operation that requires the transport of bulk material. Despite their prevalence, conveyors pose the highest number of challenges for heavy industry applications. In fact, conveyor systems outrank every other asset in a mining operation in terms of reliability problems. This white paper provides an overview of the key challenges … Continue reading Optimising conveyor system performance in heavy industrial applications →

Condition monitoring has become an essential service to the modern mine – not just as a means to prevent catastrophic machine failure, but to improve maintenance and the uptime of equipment. Typically, condition monitoring has been a costly undertaking, and one that has required considerable time and resources to set up, as well as specific … Continue reading Optimal uptime: How a ‘plug and play’ solution provides high-scale condition monitoring at minimal cost for miners →
