Mining, Mineral Processing and Cement

Heavy loads Abrasive dust and dirt. Extreme temperatures and more. These factors render the maintenance of machinery difficult and even dangerous for mines and cement plants. Occupational injuries and unexpected downtime are the usual hazards.

Furthermore, costly and stringent regulations are forcing constraints on energy consumption; global demand for metal ores, cement and coal is increasing.

SKF's advanced products and services in the SKF Life Cycle Management approach is an approved method to reduce the Total Cost of Ownership for the machine at each stage, from specification and design to operation and maintenance. SKF solutions can benefit mining and mineral processing operations:

• Enhanced production and profitability
• Improving worker safety
• Reducing environmental impact
• Minimizing energy consumption
• Reducing unscheduled downtime
