You Can’t Afford Mistakes

Mining is a unique industry—no other is quite as tough on its equipment. When you need chemistry for scheduled (or unplanned) maintenance, you need solutions that are effective, fast-acting, and safe for your team. Downtime, whether it’s caused by application limitations or delivery, just won’t cut it.

Gear Cleaning

Gear fouling has the ability to grind your operations to a halt, and effective gear cleaning is critical to efficient processes. We have created programs designed for the mining industry to clean draglines and sag, rod, and ball mill gears. Guardian Chemicals can clean on the fly with specialized chemistry that works at higher temperatures. This reduces the time to clean from days to hours— a 34-foot S.A.G. Mill Gear can be cleaned in as little as 3 to 4 hours.
 
We also have formulations that protect gears from damage, so your gears get cleaned without risk of harm or revenue loss—they're ready for follow-up work.

Water is a sometimes overlooked, but incredibly important part of your operations. In your processing facilities, you need to ensure that your heating and cooling systems are working effectively while minimizing utility costs. We can help by providing chemistry that is designed to get the most out of your systems, and the service support needed to keep them working as long as possible. This includes a suite of solutions such as defoamers, corrosion inhibitors, descalers and odour controllers to help keep your system at peak performance. We additionally have solutions for your wastewater to ensure you can avoid dangerous bacteria growth or unintended environmental impact.
