Heavy mining equipment working at an open-pit mine site

Mining

Sub-headline: Maximising availability in the world's harshest environments. From pit to port, Delta-Xero provides ultra-fine fluid conditioning that protects heavy mobile equipment (HME) and stationary assets from the abrasive dust and moisture that drive up total cost of ownership. 

Hydraulic system on heavy construction machinery

01

Heavy Construction Machinery Hydraulics - Excavators, Loaders & High-Pressure Hydraulic Systems

APPLICATION
  • High-pressure hydraulic systems on large mining excavators

  • Wheel loaders, dozers, and articulated dump trucks

  • Drill rigs and blast-hole drilling hydraulic circuits

  • Surface mining and quarrying mobile plant

THE PROBLE
  • Sub-micron silica and dust particles act as an abrasive grinding paste in hydraulics

  • Bore scoring, pump cavitation, and valve failure result from silt ingression

  • Standard OEM filters fail to capture the 1–5 micron particles causing most wear

  • Hydraulic rebuilds in remote locations involve complex logistics and huge cost

DELTA-XERO SOLVES THIS BY
  • Capture contaminants down to 0.1 micron through continuous kidney-loop filtration

  • Maintain hydraulic oil at ISO 4406 levels as low as 14/12/9 in the harshest conditions

  • Extend hydraulic pump and actuator life by up to 200% through ultra-fine filtration

  • Reduce cost-per-hour significantly across high-value mobile construction assets

Earthmoving and heavy mobile equipment at a mine site

02

Earthmoving & Heavy Mobile Equipment (HME) - Haul Trucks, Dozers, Motor Graders & LHDs

APPLICATION
  • Engine lubrication and transmission systems for haulage fleets

  • Final drive and differential lubricant circuits on heavy haulers

  • Underground LHD (Load-Haul-Dump) and mining truck powertrains

  • Motor grader and scraper drivetrain lubrication

THE PROBLE
  • Constant thermal cycling depletes lubricant additives and causes metal-to-metal contact

  • Varnish and oxidation in transmission systems lead to expensive premature failure

  • A single gearbox failure in a remote pit costs hours of lost production

  • High waste oil volumes create environmental and logistical disposal burdens

DELTA-XERO SOLVES THIS BY
  • Continuously remove moisture and oxidation by-products to keep lubricants 'prime'

  • Extend oil drain intervals by 4–5× through condition-based fluid management

  • Reduce waste oil generated on-site and support ESG and decarbonisation targets

  • Keep primary movers in the pit longer between services through fluid conditioning

Diesel power generation hub at a mine site

03

Mobile Power & On-Site Generation - Remote Mine Site Diesel Power Hubs & Gensets

APPLICATION
  • Bulk diesel storage tanks for remote mining power hubs

  • Primary and standby diesel generators for processing plants

  • Worker camp and light-vehicle fuel storage systems

  • Temporary and semi-permanent mine site power infrastructure

THE PROBLEM
  • Bulk fuel stored on-site is highly susceptible to water condensation and diesel bug

  • Contaminated fuel leads to power trips, injector damage, and generator failure

  • High soot loading in generator oils thickens lubricants and reduces fuel efficiency

  • Remote logistics make every generator failure an expensive, time-consuming event

DELTA-XERO SOLVES THIS BY
  • Reduce diesel contamination by 99.8% and water by 99.5% with single-cartridge polishing

  • Eliminate microbial diesel bug to guarantee generation reliability in remote locations

  • Reduce fuel consumption and CO2 by up to 10% through clean-fuel combustion

  • Support decarbonisation and ESG targets while lowering total site energy cost
