BUILT FOR HIGH-DUST OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS

Harsh operating environments place extreme strain on engine air filtration systems. Lubrigard’s air cleaner assemblies, enhanced with advanced centrifugal pre-cleaner technology, improve filtration efficiency before contaminants reach the primary filter elements. Optimised cyclone tube design generates high RPM spin rates, actively separating and removing fine particulates to reduce dust loading, maintain airflow, and minimise restriction build-up over time.

The result:
• Extended filter life
• Reduced maintenance interventions
• Lower top-end engine wear
• Improved reliability in high-dust environments

Effective intake air management is not just about filtration — it’s about protecting critical engine components from the first stage of airflow.

FIRST LINE OF DEFENCE AGAINST DUST CONTAMINATION.

Dust contamination remains one of the biggest threats to engine reliability in mining and industrial environments. Lubrigard’s cyclonic pre-cleaner helps remove larger airborne particles before they reach the primary air filter, reducing filter loading and improving overall intake air quality. By improving air filtration efficiency, operations can support longer filter life, reduce unnecessary wear, and help protect critical engine components in harsh operating conditions. Effective contamination control starts before the air even reaches the filter.

READ ALL ABOUT IT!

The latest edition of the WearCheck Monitor newsletter is out now, and it is packed with useful technical insight, company news and community updates.

This bumper issue takes a closer look at the hot topic of diesel adulteration – including why it matters, how it affects machinery reliability, and how laboratory testing can help identify compromised fuel. We also feature an informative article on lubricant degradation, explaining what happens as lubricants age and why regular monitoring is essential for protecting equipment.

Other technical highlights include our new on-site sampling service, a practical transformer maintenance tip, and an overview of key updates to SANS 241:2025, the South African National Standard for drinking water safety.

There is plenty of company news too. Meet some of our intrepid WearCheck team members who travel far and wide to deliver technical training, read about our new agent in Tanzania, and enjoy several feel-good stories from our latest WeCare community upliftment projects.

Our training calendar also remains full, with courses scheduled every month – including our popular, free Toolbox Training sessions. Browse the latest schedules and find a course that suits your needs.

CLEANER AIR. BETTER PROTECTION. LONGER ENGINE LIFE.

Clean air is critical to protecting engines operating in harsh mining conditions. Lubrigard’s air cleaner assembly with pre-cleaner enhanced with a centrifugal pre-cleaner, removes larger airborne contaminants before they reach the primary filtration stage. This reduces dust loading on filters and improves overall intake air cleanliness. Effective air filtration is not a small detail; it is a key part of protecting high-value equipment from dust-related damage in demanding environments.

KEEP COOL, STAY PROTECTED
Coolant is more than just temperature control, it’s your engine’s first line of defence against corrosion, cavitation, and costly failures. Poor coolant health can silently damage critical components, leading to downtime and reduced reliability.

WearCheck Laboratories monitors critical parameters including pH, glycol concentration, and inhibitor levels to support optimal system performance. Regular sampling and data trending allow for early identification of contamination and degradation, helping to prevent failures and extend fluid life.
