The contemporary mining and processing industry is facing a plethora of challenges, ranging from the need for increased efficiency and productivity to concerns about environmental sustainability.
In this context, Michael Greelish, a national business development manager with expertise in the mining and quarrying sector, emphasises the significance of Motion’s high-quality products and solutions in overcoming these challenges.
Greelish highlighted skilled labour shortage as a contemporary issue the mining industry is facing.
“We have a lot of products that replace the old existing ones where you really need to be trained for it. For example, some bearings traditionally required highly skilled fitters for installation,” he said.
However, he notes that manufacturers have become more advanced in their production processes and can now supply fully assembled bearings that can simply be slid onto the shaft.
