Q: HOW ARE THE WORLD'S LARGEST MINES
CUTTING FLEET M&R COSTS BY 20%-25%?
A: SUB 4 MICRON CONTAMINATION CONTROL
Tribologists have known for decades that particles <10 microns generate about 3.5 times more machine wear than larger particles.* But conventional disposable media filters rated below 10 microns plug off much too quickly and go into bypass mode. With internal tolerances under load of <10 microns, what is protecting your machines?

THE $/HOUR BOTTOM LINE
The 22.5% average cost saving shown is based on application of sub 4-micron filtration to engine oil, fuel, coolant, hydraulic fluid and gearboxes on ultra-class haul trucks. Maintenance and repair costs in this case include only parts and labor for both maintenance and overhaul, plus lube costs.
While these costs vary dramatically from mine to mine, in this case a $51/hr. average saving is realized. This shows a significant OPEX reduction opportunity hidden in what many accept as “just a cost of doing business”.
THE GREEN BOTTOM LINE
Controlling sub 4 micron contamination:
-
Reduces disposable filter waste by >50%.
-
Reduces oil changes by >50% (using fluid condition monitoring).
-
Doubles the life of the asset.
-
Improves lifetime fuel economy and reduces emissions by reducing dirt being forced through <10 micron diesel injector needles at >30,000 psi causing wear, fouling and bad spray patterns.

hydraulic fluid and gearboxes.
These particles are destroying your gearboxes and engines...
Machinery tolerances under load cause sub 10 micron particles to be trapped to grind and erode surfaces and generate even more wear particles.
"New" fuels and lubricants do not mean "clean"
Even new lubricants contain sub 10 micron wear contaminants. Fuels are contaminated with corrosion and erosion particles from every pump, pipe, truck or barge they pass through.
Cleanable / Reusable Magnetic Filters Capture Damaging <4μm Particles
Powerful rare earth magnets used in advanced magnetic filters capture particles from <0.1 to 1,000+ microns. Simply remove, wipe off and re-insert. Magnetic filters are proven in over 18 years of continuous service with no performance degradation.
What you can't see, will kill - your machinery
Despite two levels of prior OEM installed filtration, 70% of the particles captured by a magnetic filter installed on this helicopter gearbox were <4 microns.
As the human eye cannot see particles below 40 microns, the accumulations shown above represent millions of abrasive wear particles.m
More Efficient Machines Mean Tighter Tolerances.
Modern engines, gearboxes, transmissions and hydraulic systems are more susceptible to sub 10 micron wear particles than ever before.
Tolerances under load are under 5 microns on many components.
Advanced magnetic filtration protects these critical components, even with far fewer oil changes.

THAT FIX PROBLEMS
How do magnetic filters work?
Magnetic filters are cleanable and reusable, require no electricity and use powerful rare earth magnets to clean liquids and gases.
Magnetic filters capture ferrous and non-ferrous (due to static electricity) particles from below 0.1 to 1000+ microns.
