Keeping the Mining Industry Mining

by Malcolm Crowley

<b>Weekly inspection schedules an all heavy mining equipment is an essential part of mining engineering maintenance requirements of important and costly mining machinery.</b>

The specific focus of these inspections is always on those key high stress parts and areas of the machines with a history for stress and fatigue fractures.

Repairs or renovation of a stressed or fractured part are always quicker to do to complete the earlier the problem is noted.

Case in point:

A 390 ton Terex RH170 excavator on-site at a coal mine goes thru is usual weekly maintenance inspection and is found to have an obvious stress fracture in the imperative H-link. The machine is instantly taken off line. Each hour of down time equates to money lost for the mining company.

The engineering team are called out to the mine to assess the problem and get on with the business of getting the machine back on line as fast as practicable. The 5 man Mining Engineering Fast Response Team have the cracked 2.4 ton H-link removed from the machine and a replacement fitted to the makers spec is five hours flat.

The machine is re-certified and back on line within 6 hours of the team arriving on site. But that's the straightforward part. The Broke 2.4ton H-Link is loaded and transported back to the workshop facility where the team do a thorough inspection on the fracture and confirm the best plan of action to repair and refurbish the H-link.

Backed by years of expertise the <a href="http://engineeringunlimited.com.au">mining engineering</a> team is well versed in what must be done to repair the cast and grade steel H-link. Though this 2.4 tonne part is large, the team have at their disposal a substantial range of heavy lift equipment and all the necessary tools to get the job finished quick effectively and safely.

A solidly established and step-by-step process of cleaning, grinding, pre-heating and air ark gouging lays bare the splinters and prepares them for the vital cross and blend 81NI Mig welding that will not only mend the breaks but will basically strengthen what are understood to be feeble or potential failure areas.

Engineering a world's best practice mend on this vital piece of gear requires both the ability and focus of the mining engineer and the conformity to a highly technical process of preheating, gouging, run off plates, grinding and layering of the 81NI Mig welds.

The final result's a fully redecorated H-link that is absolutely corrected, cleaned, repainted, re-certified and returned to the mining company prepared to be swapped out to another machine should the eventuality show up.

<i>The 24/7 engineering fast reply team members pride themselves on providing mining engineering services that get high price mining machines back on line in the shortest possible time, ensuring any down time and successive loss of revenue to the mine is keep to a minimum.</i>
