The African mining and resources sector has been developing rapidly for the last few years and will be doing so in the foreseeable future. With that being said it has become increasingly difficult to enter and maintain position in these markets because of its competitive nature.

Therefore a combination of well-maintained reliable equipment for efficient production is critical.

Equipment Maintenance strategy forms an integral part providing available and reliable equipment for production processes. An effective Oil Analysis program plays a fundamental part in effective maintenance practises.

 Using an automated on-premise fluids analyzer provides equipment operators with a solution to help reduce operating and maintenance costs, while extending the useful life of equipment. The OSA equipment can achieve this by enabling real-time fluids analysis, thereby minimizing equipment downtime, in production breakdowns, unscheduled repairs and safely extending oil change intervals.

 The On-site Oil and Coolant Analysis Equipment is applicable in  various industries :

Mining

Mining – Plant and Heavy Earth moving Equipment

  • 15 minute Sample Turn Around Time reduces the Diagnostic phase of Equipment Service and enables an equipment operator to identify critical equipment issues earlier than it would have been possible with an off-site lab – Especially in remote locations in Africa
  • The opportunity to Implementation of preventative maintenance programs based on oil analysis that provides real time equipment condition monitoring and component wear trending.
  • Extending Oil drains to achieve a lower lubrication cost per hour.
  • Assists with Labour allocation and Optimizes Maintenance Planning.
  • Improve Equipment Kpi’s – Machine Reliability, Availability, MTBF/MTBS/MTTR
  • Improves Budget and Financial Forecast Accuracy.
  • Reduces Operating, Maintenance and Component Replacement Cost
  • Allows for quality checks Bulk Oil delivery deliveries.
  • Improves Production rhythm and production cycles by having fewer stoppages.
  • Improves Production by reducing maintenance time in the workshops.

  • Improves production cycles by having fewer stoppages.
  • Improves Production by reducing maintenance time during shutdown periods.
  • Each analyzer is “networked” via the internet and is accessible via a password-protected site (www.lubetrak.com).  If one of your other service location services the equipment, the history moves with the truck.  The fleet operator can monitor their equipment from anywhere in the world, and even receive an email “Alert” if an abnormal test result occurs at any of your repair sites.
Truck and Bus

Truck And Bus – Service Providers, OEM’s and Fleet Operators

 Using an automated on-premise fluids analyzer provides Truck and Fleet Service Providers with a unique competitive advantage.

  •  On-premise analysis allows a Service provider to identify hidden or emerging component issues long before they become catastrophic, while the equipment is in your service bay.
  • Proven to increase parts and repair service revenue by up to 20%.
  • An excellent tool for selling to maintenance contracts and fleet accounts
  • Gain a significant competitive advantage over other service providers that do not offer on-premise, real time analysis.
  • Reduction of customer’s operating cost by virtually eliminating costly road breakdowns or unscheduled repairs.
  • Including oil analysis in a comprehensive preventative maintenance program provides real time equipment condition monitoring and component wear trending.
  •  Allows for quality checks Bulk Oil delivery deliveries
  • Each analyzer is “networked” via the internet and is accessible via a password-protected site (www.lubetrak.com).  If one of your other service location services the equipment, the history moves with the truck.  The fleet operator can monitor their equipment from anywhere in the world, and even receive an email “Alert” if an abnormal test result occurs at any of your repair sites.
Truck & Bus - Fleet

Truck and Bus – Fleet Operators

  •  On-premise analysis allows you to identify hidden or emerging problems long before they become catastrophic, while the equipment is in your service bay.
  • Fluids analysis helps to increase service bay productivity by accelerating the repair diagnostic phase of service and not wasting an expensive service technician’s time doing unnecessary oil changes or repairs.
  • Fluids analysis, when included in a condition based PM Program, extends the useful life of equipment and increases the residual value of equipment.
  • Improves Budget and Financial Forecast Accuracy.
  • Reduces Operating, Maintenance and Component Replacement Cost
  • OSA reduces expensive road breakdowns ensuring on time delivery of cargo.
  • Sending samples to an outside lab does not provide actionable diagnostics. In all cases, the equipment has left your facility or been severely damaged by the time an off-site lab provides the diagnostic report.
  • Allows for quality checks Bulk Oil delivery deliveries
  • Each analyzer is “networked” via the internet and is accessible via a password-protected site (www.lubetrak.com). If one of your other service location repairs the equipment, the history moves with the truck. The fleet operator can monitor their equipment from anywhere in the world, and even receive an email “Alert” if an abnormal test result occurs at any of your repair sites
