crusher, the lubrication system, the hydraulic and control system, as well as crusher loading. Equipment utili- sation can be accurately monitored and measured, while component replacement can be planned and exe- cuted on an optimal basis,” he says. For the Enduron HPGR, adds Hendricks, health conditions such as bearings and lubrication, hydrau- lics, drivetrain and tyre wear can be monitored using Synertrex technol- ogy. Performance parameters such as throughput and equipment utilisation can be monitored. Equipment utilisa- tion in turn allows for monitoring the estimated replacement interval. Changing the game The performance of crushing plants is critical in the overall efficiency of processing plants. Hendricks says monitoring technology is thus changing the game as far as crush- ing performance is concerned. “Safety, which is of paramount importance, is certainly greatly
