Mining Equipment
Spares and parts for remote sites.
How we support mining equipment
Mining runs on spares held a long way from the nearest store. Wear parts, drive components, hydraulic rams and control gear wait in containers and yards at the site, and a part that comes out of storage pitted stops a machine that costs more per hour to idle than the part is worth. We supply the wrapping, barrier packaging and desiccants that keep those spares serviceable until they are fitted.
The corrosion problem
Remote storage stacks the odds against bare metal. Daily temperature swings drive condensation, airborne dust holds moisture against the surface, and inspection intervals are long enough that a problem is found late. Machined faces, bores and threads go first, and those are the surfaces that decide whether a part fits when it is needed.
Where we work in this sector
- Ground engaging and wear parts
- Cutting edges, teeth and bucket components held outdoors between change-outs.
- Drivetrain and hydraulics
- Motors, pumps, rams and gearboxes with machined and sealed surfaces.
- Electrical and control gear
- Panels, drives and instrumentation where damp reaches the enclosed space.
- Structural and fabricated spares
- Frames and sections that sit in the yard until a shutdown.
What we usually recommend
- VCI Films & Wraps
Cut-to-size wrapping and bags for individual spares and wear parts.
- Desiccants & Moisture Control
Sized to the enclosed volume for containers and sealed crates in the yard.
- VCI Devices, Emitters & Powders
Vapour protection for panels, drives and other enclosed assemblies.
