Leading the digitisation of greasing for mining and metals operations

Verify your machinery has been greased correctly, prevent unplanned downtime and reduce maintenance costs with GreaseBoss.

Mining and metal operations often run 24/7. Plants cannot recover the production hours lost due to breakdowns. 70% of them are caused by incorrect greasing. GreaseBoss reduces breakdowns by ensuring the plant is greased correctly. Guiding maintenance technicians on a point by point basis and using digital technology to inform the correct grease required and record its application, GreaseBoss’ powerful reporting capabilities ensure that you will be notified if a grease point is missed so corrective action can be taken. 

Predictive maintenance has shown to:

  • Increase productivity by 35%
  • Reduce breakdowns by 70%
  • Lower maintenance costs by 25%
  • A 10% reduction in maintenance costs can increase profits by 30%
  • Maximise the uptime of your plant operations with GreaseBoss, the leader in the digitisation of greasing.
  • Keep track of your exception reporting with self-service reporting tools and automated email reports sourced straight from the innovative secure GreaseCloud platform.

Machine Types

Once the GreaseBoss system is notified of the manufacturer’s lubrication requirements in terms of frequency and volume, the next step is to assist users on site to the manufacturer’s specifications

FANS

Fixed Machine

Critical for the safety of workers, operating conditions for fans are often hot and humid, which generates additional challenges for bearing reliability such as increasing the wear of components and damaging seals.

Electric motors

Fixed Machine

Grease is the moving force of bearings in electric motors. Essential to the life of equipment, bearing problems account for 65% of all motor failures. Poor lubrication practices are the main cause of these issues, leading to costly premature motor failures.

CONVEYORS

Fixed Machine

Conveyors are critical for the productivity of plants so keeping them lubricated is essential. Over greasing is the most common mistake in a conveyor system and can cause your seals to burst and bearings to be destroyed from the pressure of excessive lubrication.

SLURRY PUMPS

Fixed Machine

Slurry pumps operate at high speed and pressure, giving energy to the fluid so it can be moved. Grease plays the critical role of reducing excess friction and wear and sealing the bearing off from contamination.

ExcavaTors

Mobile Machine

Excavators consume on average 5,500kg of grease per month and have around 100 grease points per machine. Excavators require greasing daily so preventative maintenance is critical.

Drag Lines

Mobile Machine

Grease is the moving force of bearings in electric motors. Essential to the life of equipment, bearing problems account for 65% of all motor failures. Poor lubrication practices are the main cause of these issues, leading to costly premature motor failures.

Haul Trucks

Mobile Machine

With over 160 grease points and heavy use, haul trucks require adequate, regular greasing at the right intervals to prevent wear and tear on the components, keeping your equipment in production for longer.
