CUMMINS GOING THE EXTRA MILE

Cummins Filtration supported one of South Africa’s largest mining companies in undergoing a comprehensive trial study; the aim was

to extend the service intervals for automotive equipment operating at the mine’s sites. By extending the cycle replacement hours, the

ultimate goal was to increase savings associated with maintenance costs and increased up time thereby improving overall productivity.

Mine sites targeted for trials were open cast platinum, coal & iron ore mines prone to high levels of dust which generally result in higher

maintenance costs.

The mine provided Cummins Filtration with a target to double their current cycle replacement hours.

all filtration products (air, lube & oil) on the various mine sites. Machines have achieved a lower downtime due to the extended

service intervals thereby reducing the total cost of ownership by a significant margin and improving the productivity of the mine.
