Ah, the giants of mining! Mining as a whole might look like a brute and unsophisticated industry, but under the dusty surface lies an intricate web of precise procedures, machines and processes. And because heavy-duty mining equipment works in challenging conditions, it must function flawlessly. This is where we need to consider adequate lubrication, as it is necessary for maximising performance, decreasing downtime, and preserving operating lifetime and efficiency. Now let us help you choose the best lubricants for the particular difficulties encountered in mining operations.
In the mining industry equipment is put through some of the harshest and most hazardous environments. This places incredible demands on heavy-duty equipment. The overall efficiency of any mining operation depends on the uninterrupted functioning and longevity of mining machines. Since this equipment is quite expensive, the longer you manage to extend its operating life, the further you will put off a new purchase or repair. Learn how!
A key to any mine’s profitability lies in high-performance and well-maintained heavy mining machines. To keep all parts of mining equipment and machines running smoothly, companies need to invest in advanced mining lubricants. What are the types of mining solutions and how to choose them? What are their roles and advantages? At Valvoline, we decided to compile the most common questions asked by our clients in the mining sector and answer them in our ultimate guide to proper mining lubrication.
