Historically, its been extremely difficult 'if not' impossible :-
To clean systems of any previous damaging component failure debris...
PROBLEM!… Hydraulic Components were failing faster, and at a greater rate than anticipated, possibly due to the operation of a 20 hrs per day, work routine (double shifted).
The replacement motors were lasting a fraction of the life of the original hydraulic motors
‘WHY’?
Replacement Hydraulic components fitted to systems were having to contend with fragments of previous failures, left circulating in the systems. It had previously proven too difficult & too costly to remove this failure debris from the hydraulic systems…
Note! Existing filtration just could not effectively remove the microfine failure debris.
The downtime pressure to keep machines available as much as possible, coupled with the ongoing repair costs, compelled engineers to source an effective solution. Hence the adoption of :-
Application: Heavy Mining; CAT D11R Hydraulic Fan Drive Systems.
Magnom – installed to the Machines hydraulic system, on separate machines operating double shifts each day.
Objective: Check & validate the life extension of hydraulic systems & components, following the installation of the New Magnom Super Filtration.
Result: Measured Reduction of Pump Failures & increase in uptime:
- Original component failure rate every 4000 hours,
- Test unit #1 required service after 15,000 hours without a failure (triple the previous life),
- Test unit #2 was still operating after 15,000+ hours (ongoing) with no failures!
Now you can remove this threat…
While simultaneously improving general system condition
Result: SAVING of $22,000 per year on – Replacement pumps/motors, oils, motor replacement and labour costs for attempts at system clean up after each & every failure.
- Total Magnom Installation, Costs was <$1000.
- The huge ‘Down Time’ costs and loss of production even greater than repair costs.
- Just imagine the historic loss in revenue, for each of these $2 Million machines, over just 1 year.
- Then add this to the multiple repair and replacement costs across the fleet ongoing! Truly Significant.
“After analysing 4 years of extensive field usage data, MAGNOM magnetic filters have been shown to reduce hydraulic system repair & service expenses by up to 80%!”
