Watching out for the environment while operating in extreme conditions
The mining industry demands high levels of uptime while operating in some of the most extreme climates and conditions in the world. It doesn’t stop there. Mines must preserve the environment and meet ever more stringent health, safety and environmental demands. This all needs to be done while keeping an eye on maintenance costs.
Alfa Laval supplies applications and products to the industry that support these demands.
- The Eliminator Filter protects the engine while increasing haul truck uptime, reducing maintenance costs, extending lube oil life and eliminating the need for costly and environmentally hazardous disposable filters.
- Alfa Laval’s heat exchanger technology provides improved cooling of hydraulics and brakes in the torturous mining environment all in a robust, compact and lightweight package.
- Heat exchangers on diesel engines also provide increased lube oil, transmission and fuel cooling, with the same robust, compact and lightweight technology.
- The Alfdex crankcase breathers provide over 98% oil mist separation performance while requiring no maintenance for the life of the engine. This also means no costly cartridge filter disposal that can harm the environment.
- High-speed separators ensure that costly oil is cleaned and recycled at the mine site, helping to lower operating costs and protect the environment.
