Weir Minerals has launched its Accumin lubricators globally, following international demand for the superior-quality grease lubrication which has been ensuring optimal performance for equipment such as Warman slurry pumps in APAC since 2014.
Across more than 100 sites, the Accumin lubrication system has proven itself an efficient way of preventing expensive bearing assembly failures, reducing maintenance downtime and promoting safety by decreasing the amount of manual interface to keep equipment performing.
“At Weir Minerals, we make the market leading slurry pump for mining applications, but we can’t always control what happens when it gets to site. Between dust, overflow and gland seal leaks, lubrication is a vital tool in the constant battle to keep machinery going. Having an Accumin lubrication system fitted prevents over and under greasing, protects equipment from bearing failures and frees up man hours for more critical tasks,” said Michael Roinich, Accumin specialist, Weir Minerals.
“Designed to meet the arduous demands of the mining industry, Accumin single-point lubricators set the global standard for lubricating Warman pumps and other grease-lubricated, mission-critical mining equipment supplied by Weir Minerals. We’re excited to share our market-leading, best-practice system with mines around the world who are embracing new technologies to simplify their operations,” said Mr Roinich.
Making the move to Accumin lubricators helped an Australian iron ore mine to save almost AU$120,000 each year in downtime reduction, pump rebuilds and bearing assembly replacements.
Accumin lubricators are now available worldwide on new pumps, through Weir Minerals’ aftermarket spare parts supply channels, and via its service centre network.
