Amidst challenging economic conditions, mining companies are constantly exploring ways to improve mechanical efficiency in order to prolong the life of their equipment and bring down energy costs. Tribology, the study of the interaction between moving surfaces, including friction, is an important tool to help them achieve this. Lubrication Engineers
The approaches to wire rope lubrication have shifted in recent years, largely due to important technological advances to improve the application and performance of lubrication products for wire ropes. Locally, Lubrication Engineers (LE) South Africa has been at the forefront of these advancements. Issues with “old-school” lubricants LE South Africa’s
Correctly maintaining conveyor belts at manufacturing and mining facilities can be challenging, but a local lubrication company has developed a decision-making tool to help facilitate the correct lubrication to keep these critical assets performing optimally. The LETS strategy, established by Lubrication Engineers (LE) South Africa, refers to load, environment, temperature
