Mining

Optimising mining efficiency is our expertise. Tailored solutions amplify equipment performance, aligning with your goals for enhanced operation, confidence, and value.

Industry-Proven Sealing Solutions for Mining and Ore Processing

Maximising productivity and uptime is critical to every mining operation. From extraction to processing and refining, equipment faces constant exposure to abrasion, dirt, slurry, water, and corrosion — all of which threaten reliability and performance. Partnering with a provider that understands these challenges and delivers proven, dependable solutions is key to maintaining operational efficiency.

Innovative Solutions Designed for Mining Challenges

Backed by 140 years of expertise in sealing solutions, Chesterton delivers a comprehensive range of products tailored for mining and ore processing applications.

Chesterton Customseal’s innovative seals are designed to help customers reduce downtime, lower costs, and maintain peak equipment reliability. From handling abrasive slurries to improving pump efficiency, we provide solutions that tackle the toughest operational challenges with confidence.

Slurry Sealing

Mechanical seals and packing for pumps and other rotating equipment

Sealing slurry-handling equipment presents unique challenges, including clogging, accelerated wear, and increased energy consumption. In mining and ore processing, these challenges are often amplified by remote locations, limited backup inventory, and the need for continuous, 24-hour operations. Selecting the right sealing technology for pumps or mixers is critical, as it directly influences reliability, efficiency, and long-term operational costs.

Mobile Mining

Polymer sealing kits for cylinders on trucks, loaders, dozers, and excavators

Chesterton mobile mining sealing solutions help increase cylinder reliability by extending the hours of operation between maintenance intervals. Our turnkey cylinder repair kits combine proprietary polymer technologies with unique seal geometries to help improve the performance of your off-road mining equipment.

Equipment Monitoring

Optimised Condition Monitoring for Pumps

Chesterton offers solutions to monitor an entire pump system. The Chesterton Connect™ System helps identify potential issues before they lead to failure. The system meticulously and continuously monitors pumps, enabling automatic and scalable 24/7 monitoring to improve pump reliability, extend equipment life, and maintain a safer work environment.

Industrial Coatings

Asset protection for screws, chutes, tanks, screens, decks, floors, and structures

In the mining and mineral ore processing industries, reliability and productivity are paramount. Our advanced coatings provide reliable, long lasting protection against abrasive wear, impact, and corrosion for your plant’s process equipment and related structures.

Lubricants and MRO Products

Specialty lubricants for motor bearings, hoists, fans, conveyors, and crushers
