When we take a break from studying mining equipment, machinery that’s designed to work around the clock in our biggest mines and quarries, we don’t sit back and sip tea. Instead, we change gear and discover why Australia is the home of such pedigreed tools. In short, we take a look at the common minerals […]

Economic growth is assured in Australia because the nation is built on strong work values. More than this, we’re blessed with large mineral resources, a source of mined material assets that continues to bolster our fiscal coffers. Destined to push our industrial complex far into the twenty-first century, we have much to be thankful for, […]
Read moreWe explore our globe and dig huge quarries, pits that contain stone, slate, and marble. Over the hill, a mining facility uses a similar processing environment to extract metal-rich deposits and precious minerals. Long production trains grow outwards from stone crusher machines, acting as automated sorting, cleaning, and transportation systems. It’s a highly refined process, […]
Read moreIt’s a tough life for industrial mining gear. The equipment cuts into rocks and kicks up clouds of gritty debris. Special seals prevent moisture and dust from penetrating the gear housings and causing extensive damage, but those same gears and drive shafts still need care, the provision of oil and grease so that the moving […]
Read moreIf a 49-er from the old Californian gold rush was to materialise inside a 21th-century mining facility, we have no doubt he’d be lost. His old wooden screening cradle has no place in a high-volume industry where the manufacture of mining equipment is defined by engineering plastics and mighty alloys. He’d hop on his mule […]
