The Hydraulic Shop’s Managing Director Paul Thompson is a certified Level II Machinery Lubricant Analyst recognised by the international Council for Machinery Lubrication and is approved to deliver training.
We have been running trials for offline filtration on a range of plant and equipment at a CQ Mine site for over 12 months with excellent results. We have sourced and are ‘own branding’ a 1µm beta 200 filter and developed our own filter head which is robust enough for the mining industry. Contamination is responsible for over 90% of all hydraulic failures and research has shown that the current industry ‘standard’ of 10µm is inadequate.
A presentation on the trial data and the benefits of filtration is currently being prepared. Extension of component life together with the associated reduced maintenance ‘down time’ and reduced oil usage are critical benefits.
We can also source and supply all types of hydraulic filters, housing and associated components.
