Before GreaseBoss, a Ball Mill lubrication failure costed the customer 9 days of downtime and approx. AU$25 million in lost production.
Within three months of deploying GreaseBoss Critical Point Monitoring on the customer’s SAG mill, the site:
- Uncovered a pump‐timer misconfiguration (severe under-delivery),
- Near-zero grease delivery at some points, and flagged an early injector failure, and
- The impact of daily temperature fluctuations on grease delivery volumes
The GreaseBoss data enabled work orders to be raised before any critical failures occurred.
