The mining and processing industry in the modern era confronts a multitude of challenges, encompassing the imperative for enhanced efficiency and productivity, as well as concerns regarding environmental sustainability. Addressing these obstacles, Michael Greelish, an accomplished National Business Development Manager specialising in the mining and...
Motion Engineering is well-known for helping industries with their machinery issues. Sinisa Petkovic, the Key Account Executive for CBC Malaga, recently shared how Motion Engineering was able to help an organic recycling plant in WA resolve an issue with their digester, ultimately saving the business...
According to Mark Slaughter, Motion Australia’s Engineering Manager for the Northern Territory and South Australia, “The point of online condition monitoring is not just to prevent catastrophic failure, but to get the maximum life out of the asset.” Using Schaeffler’s OPTIME and C1 Smart Lubricator system,...
The nature of food and beverage manufacturing environments means that equipment will be under constant strain, and inevitably degrade over time. But according to Ryan Kendrigan, General Manager of Engineering & Services at Motion Australia, a proactive approach to maintenance can lead to significant cost...
Bearings defects in slow-running bearings are harder to detect as the inherent low energy impact makes early detection of issues difficult. That is why, CBC Engineering Manager Mark Slaughter emphasises regular vibration analysis to monitor the bearings’ health. In an iron ore export terminal in South...
At the core of all recycling plants is the rotating equipment that keeps them functioning, whether that be in metal, glass or pulp and paper processing. CBC Australia is a recognised leader when it comes to the supply of industrial components such as bearings, power...
Understanding the condition of a plant and its equipment allows for improved planning analysis, better utilisation of equipment, reduced downtime, reduced maintenance spend and ultimately improves the productivity of an operation. This is why condition monitoring is important for any mining operation, regardless of the...
The first signs of impending breakdown in machinery typically include tiny changes in vibration that warn of excessive wear in the bearings upon which efficient functioning depends. Left unheeded – because they are notoriously hard to detect – these subtle rumbles lead to energy wastage, under-performance...
