Luehr Filter manufactures air pollution control products for the mining, mineral, and other heavy industries.
The company also offers several support services, replacement parts, and a comprehensive maintenance service.
Luehr Filter supplies an extensive range of dust collection systems and maintenance services, ensuring that clients’ systems operate at peak capacity throughout the operating lifespan.
Although Luehr filter recommends a preventative maintenance programme be implemented, the company also offers emergency, after-hours repair services, so customers are able to minimise downtime.
Luehr Filter’s engineers are experts in the field, and can provide specialist advice on how clients can improve on their current system, ranging from small upgrades to a complete overhaul and redesign. The company also offers to train and support staff in their operations to ensure optimal system operations.
Implementing vibration analysis services can save time and money by detecting faults in machinery at an early stage, eliminating the risk of future breakdowns.
The process used by Luehr Filter both evaluates the condition of existing equipment, as well as performs tests on new or refurbished machinery, to ensure it is fit for purpose.
Faults detected through vibration analysis include misalignment, looseness, imbalance, bent or cracked shafts, flow-related resonance, motor electrical faults, bad belts, lack of lubrication, bearing defects, and resonance.
It can often be difficult to align machinery correctly, as misaligned drives and shafts in rotating equipment can cause excess vibration, leading to unnecessary damage and bearing failure. The company can also cause premature seal and coupling failures.
Luehr Filter offers a laser alignment services that allows clients to ensure safe operation of its machinery, and maximise the life of itsequipment.
A variety of issues can cause rotor imbalance, such as deposit build-up, distortion, or corrosion.
Imbalance can be a costly and time-consuming problem, as machinery usually needs to be disassembled, transported and reassembled to resolve the problem. Luehr Filter offers in-situ dynamic balancing, which minimises downtime and prolongs the service life of the equipment.
By taking the appropriate readings and adding the necessary counterweights, Luehr Filter can dramatically reduce vibration levels, decrease machinery downtime, and improve system efficiency.
Savannah Nickel planned to build a storage shed to store Nickel Sulphide Concentrate. The material would be delivered in a quad road train of side tippers. These would discharge from an internal ramp with the shed doors closed.
As part of Rio Tinto's expansion project at Cape Lambert in the Pilbara WA, they appointed Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM) to undertake the procurement and construction of a new Greenfield Iron Ore port facility, increasing the capacity of the port by 53 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) and allowing for a future additional 50Mtpa.
As part of its new Randall's Gold Project, located around 60km south-east of Kalgoorlie, Integra Mining installed a large crushing and screening plant.
The principal purpose of the dust collection system would be to maintain the shed under a negative pressure to prevent dust egress from the building.
An exhaust rate of 36,000m³/h was selected based on the size of the shed, which was a sealed construction design and the access doors would be closed during the in and out loading operations.
The scrubber is a low-maintenance design and therefore is well-suited to the remote mine location with limited maintenance personnel available.
A major Australian mining company entering a significant growth phase required large dust extraction systems to control the dust generated from their proposed iron ore crushing and screening plants.
FMG’s aggressive throughput expansion required a dust collection solution which could be delivered and installed within a tight timeline to meet start-up and ramp-up production requirements at Cloudbreak toward the steady-state volume of 45 Million Tonnes to supply the Chinese market for 20 years.
Solving the dust dilemma required significant dust management experience, which is why Luehr Filter was brought in to provide the answer.
Luehr received the order from the project managers Lycopodium Mauritus in Queensland for the supply of fabric filters for the new Secondary Crusher and Screenhouse facilities.
Luehr received an order to provide an exhaust system to the Port of Tauranga to maintain environmental dust levels.
Hlsmelt selected Luehr Filter to supply one of the largest fabric filters installed on a metallurgical process in Western Australia.
Luehr Filter supplied two DFV filters to a gold ore processing facility in Thailand for Ausenco Services / Akara Mining.
