Gothenburg,
20 June 2016: SKF has secured a three-year contract with Compañia
Minera Antamina S.A. (Antamina), to provide Proactive Reliability
Maintenance services at the company’s open-pit copper mine in Peru.
Antamina is jointly owned by BHP Billiton, Glencore, Teck and Mitsubishi
Corporation, who have jointly invested over USD 3.5 billion in the
site, making it one of the largest mining investments in Peru’s
history.
John
Schmidt, President, Industrial Sales, Americas, says: “For mine
operators, many of which are located in remote areas, critical equipment
failure can be very costly. By applying our knowledge within the fields
of tribology, vibrational analysis and thermography, we are able to
support Antamina in reducing the risk of reoccurring failures,
contributing to improved machine efficiency.”
SKF’s
Proactive Reliability Maintenance services will apply best practice
predictive maintenance activities, including non-destructive testing of
critical mining and plant equipment, to diagnose the root causes of
failures at the Antamina mine. Together with Antamina’s own maintenance
teams, SKF will then take the necessary steps to help eliminate
reoccurrences by, for example, adjusting lubrication use, shaft
alignment and seals or bearing selection.
