The key equipment for effective production in a mine is the Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Crushers.
They operate under extreme environmental conditions which can lead to badly contaminated system ISO cleanliness levels as high as 27/25. The recommended level should be 16/14 (100 times lower) if the crushers are to operate reliably and efficiently.
Seal failures cause water and particle contamination and oil degradation. The combination of all contaminants results in wear of system parts and component failure. These failures lead to unscheduled stoppages and unbudgeted replacement of parts. This is particularly relevant for sensitive components, e.g. bushings, socket liners, bevel gears etc.
Effective Offline Depth Filtration with e.g. CJC™ HDU Fine Filters and CJC™ Filter Separators keeps the oil clean and dramatically increases the reliability and lifetime of system components.
Most importantly, the effect of contaminated oil is down-time and lost production.
