offer the globally recognised Fleetguard® brand of filtration,
coolant and chemical products. The Fleetguard® range is
used extensively throughout a wide range of engine applica-
tion sectors, which include: on-highway heavy/medium duty
truck/bus; open pit and underground mining; power genera-
tion, oil and gas, to name a few.
Mining
Today’s electronically controlled diesel engines utilise the lat-
est high pressure common rail systems that require pressures
up to 30 000 psi with injection nozzle sizes down to 6microns.
Given the mining environment, meeting downstream ISO
4406 cleanliness standards for bulk fuel storage, dispens-
ing and during transfer, can be challenging. BMG offers the
filtration and process fuel monitoring technology that extends
equipment uptime and assures clean dry fuel.
BMG filtration solutions are also used on all oil lubrica-
tion systems, manufactured in-house, installed at Jaw.
Cone crushers as well as Sag/Ball mills, large gearboxes,
which require clean oil to increase bearing life and extend
plant availability. BMG also offers mobile filter systems, also
known as off-line or ‘+kidney systems’ and can be connected
to various items of equipment which do not have their own
filtration system.
Power generation
Diesel-powered plants require large fuel storage reservoirs
and tank farms that must be available on demand. Fuel
monitoring products can help ensure that fuel ismonitored for
contaminants. Filtration and separation products are used to
remove particulate and water and to ensure that fuel quality
meets engine
ISO cleanli-
ness standards
in order to assure
reliability.
