A coal mining industry workshop is a facility that maintains, repairs, and services mining equipment. Equipped with specialized tools and trained personnel, this workshop handles mechanical repairs, parts replacement, and routine maintenance.

Its primary role is to ensure all equipment operates optimally and safely, supporting productivity and safety in the coal mining industry.

The common problems and effective solutions from Eonchemicals are as follows:

1. Problem: Cleaning Oil & Grease Dirt

Cleaning oil and grease dirt in the coal mining industry is a common issue due to its sticky nature and difficulty to clean. This dirt typically adheres to heavy equipment such as mining trucks, heavy machinery, and excavators.

The accumulation of oil and grease dirt not only reduces operational efficiency and equipment lifespan but can also cause workplace accidents and damage that requires additional repair costs.

This product can be used in various applications, including the mineral and coal mining industry, marine, automotive, and others. With its versatile capabilities, this general-purpose cleaner helps maintain the cleanliness and performance of equipment, reducing downtime and extending the lifespan of machines and components.

QuickBreak 600 is a chemical designed to clean oil, grease, and other contaminants efficiently. QuickBreak 600 has several advantages, especially its quick break capability, allowing for fast and efficient cleaning without leaving residues.

This cleaning chemical is also environmentally friendly, making it safe for the surrounding ecosystem. User safety is a top priority, and with its excellent cleaning power, this product can tackle various types of dirt, ensuring optimal cleaning results. It is suitable for solving the above-mentioned problems.

2. Problem: Scale and Corrosion in Cooling Systems

Scale and corrosion in cooling systems in the coal mining industry are common issues that can disrupt operations and incur additional maintenance costs.

Scale forms from mineral deposits such as calcium and magnesium that precipitate on the internal surfaces of the cooling system. This can reduce heat exchange efficiency and increase energy consumption.

Corrosion occurs when metals in the system oxidize or corrode due to exposure to water and air. Corrosion can cause leaks, component damage, and even complete cooling system failure.

Solution: RadCool 200, GreenCool 200, GreenCool 488

RadCool 200 is an ethylene glycol radiator coolant, an extended-life radiator fluid for heavy-duty engines, thus offering a longer lifespan. This product contains Organic Acid Technology (OAT) and nitrite corrosion inhibitor to protect against corrosion hazards in engines and cooling systems

GreenCool 200 is also an extended-life radiator coolant containing OAT. The difference is that GreenCool 200 is based on propylene glycol and does not contain nitrites, nitrates, phosphates, or silicates, making it safe and effective in protecting both heavy and light-duty engines.

GreenCool 488 is a water-based, environmentally friendly radiator coolant. Specially designed for heavy-duty cooling systems that do not require antifreeze properties. It contains OAT corrosion inhibitors, as well as anti-scale and fouling preventatives to maintain optimal performance in closed-cycle cooling systems

3. Problem: Oil Spills on Floors and Waterways

A common issue in the coal mining industry, oil spills can cause environmental pollution and accident risks. Oil can spill from heavy machinery, vehicles, or storage infrastructure. The impacts include damage to aquatic ecosystems, disruption to fauna and flora, and potential health risks to humans living nearby.

Coal mining operators need to have emergency response preparations to handle oil spills quickly and effectively.

Solution: EonSpill 500, Absorbent

EonSpill 500 is a product solution for dealing with oil spills in the sea. It works by dispersing and maintaining the dispersion of oil in both freshwater and seawater. It has very low toxicity, making it safe for the ecosystem. EonSpill 500 has proven to be highly effective.

Absorbent is a product solution for dealing with oil spills on floors. Eonchemicals offers various types of absorbents that can be selected according to your industry’s field needs. Please consult with our team via WhatsApp now.

4. Problem: Washing Spare Parts

Washing spare parts in the coal mining industry aims to maintain the reliability and lifespan of equipment. It can become a serious issue if the wrong cleaning chemicals are chosen.

Using inappropriate cleaning chemicals and poorly managed washing processes can result in suboptimal cleaning. This can further affect the quality and performance of spare parts, increasing the risk of equipment failure or damage.

Solution: EonSolv 135, Alklin 220

EonSolv 135 is a clear general cleaning degreaser, ideal for general maintenance cleaning in the coal mining industry, food and beverage, automotive, marine, and transportation sectors. This product effectively removes grease, adhesives, lubricating oils, and other contaminants from metal surfaces and other materials.

Alklin 220 is a recommended cleaning chemical solution for the automatic cleaning machines you use. With excellent cleaning power and minimal foam, the part washing process with the machine becomes more effective. This product is easily soluble and leaves no residue, preventing future issues.

5. Problem: Workshop Floor and Floor Markings

Workshop floors and floor markings in the coal mining industry face various challenges that can affect safety and operational efficiency. Workshop floors are often exposed to contaminants such as oil, grease, chemicals, and coal dust.

This phenomenon can make surfaces slippery and increase the risk of workplace accidents. Additionally, floor markings used to organize workflows, storage areas, and safe zones often fade or get damaged due to heavy equipment traffic and daily activities.

Damage or loss of floor markings can lead to confusion, operational errors, and potential accidents.

To address this issue, the use of appropriate coatings is necessary.
