Mining process and equipment maintenance made simple

Mining functions are complex and go far beyond the standard industrial business operations.

These billion-dollar operations exist for one reason – to deliver and refine commodities, minerals, and materials that fuel society. While every new mining project has its own individual requirements and needs, they have one thing in common – the need to simplify processes at every stage of the process.

This means automated processing, monitoring, and effective care of plants and machinery. Each of these can be achieved with Chesterton’s range of products, which together will supercharge your processes.

Set and monitor with Chesterton Connect

Smart monitors are a must-have maintenance support tool that ensures processes continue efficiently. Chesterton Connect is an advanced device designed to monitor asset processes continually, capturing real-time data 24/7 and providing valuable information about:

process pressures
process temperatures
equipment vibration
surface temperatures.

Uses include:

spot issues to allow early intervention to uptime threats
pinpoint issues that cause difficult-to-discover failures
predict potential future problems via data trends
allow for preventative action to extend productivity
detect processing instabilities early
prioritise equipment maintenance easily
modernise plant operations
assist in cost reduction.

Centralised Control is available via the user-friendly mobile app connected to multiple sensors to provide a comprehensive view of plant equipment and health. Alerts are sent to maintenance to warn of current or upcoming issues with equipment functionality, reducing downtime at your mine site.

Avoid bearing failure with LubriCup Automatic Grease Dispensers

LubriCup are designed as another point of automation. When installed, these units deliver a precise amount of industrial grease or oil to where it is needed in machinery. This eliminates human error and the cause of premature bearing failure – over and under – greasing, providing reliable, automated, and efficient lubrication.

choose from single or multiple-point lubricators
simple to install and easy to use
available in nitrogen-driven disposable units or electro-mechanical units with replaceable service packs.

Ideal for:

environments where access is hazardous or inconvenient
contaminated areas or processes
ensuring reliable lubrication when your plant faces staff or PM shortages
applications where reliability is critical.
