The iron, coal, precious metal, and mineral mining industries subject lubrication and hydraulic systems and components to extreme levels of contamination that are rarely seen in other manufacturing environments. Yet, in one case study, an iron ore processing facility was able to reduce the material and labor expenses associated with...

Gearbox applications are challenging when attempting to achieve and maintain an aggressive level of lubricant cleanliness. A balance must be maintained between what is financially feasible and what is absolutely best for the machine. This paper discusses these challenges and looks at three case studies where tight lubricant cleanliness levels...

Instructor: Jeremy Wright Course Length: 60 mins License: 1 seat x 365 days* Electric motor bearings are fragile parts that require precise lubrication strategy. Common maintenance mistakes include incorrect lubricant selection, contamination, loss of lubricant and over-greasing. Jeremy Wright describes the best practices for creating an effective motor bearing lubrication...

This paper includes a case study that involves a complete turnaround of a mechanical maintenance planning department. The resulting organization consisted of crews working down their entire backlogs, freeing up the work force for other tasks including replacing contract labor and assisting other stations. Planning obviously involves more than computer...
