Eliminating AU$25m Downtime at a Tier 1 Gold Mining Company

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.
