Abstract

earth moving machineries are used in open cat mines to excavate coal, ore, overburden materials etc. And for obvious reason these heavy machines are considered to be the back bone of the mining industries. In this case the unintended failure of these machines ultimately results in serious production loss. In order to prevent such types of failures, the industries generally opt for different predictive maintenance tools. Although there are many different methods are there but Atomic Emission Spectroscopic (AES) analysis is considered to be one of the important method among them. In this work the AES analysis of engine oil collected from a Caterpillar 777 100-ton haul truck will be done. The oil for the same has been collected at five different hours of operation of the engines and the particle count in ppm has been obtained as result.
