Turnkey lubrication systems for the mining industry

HydX standard packages are custom-designed, and our turnkey lubrication systems are built to eliminate the risk of costly downtime. With almost two decades of experience in the mining industry, we combine expertise in hydraulics, electronics and electrification for a complete concept to our customers.

For almost 20 years, HydX has been developing and supplying hydraulic solutions to the mining industry. Our lubrication systems are specially designed for demanding applications such as large roller mills and gearboxes where reliability, cooling and precision are crucial. With our deep expertise in hydraulics, electronics and electrification, we offer complete and customised solutions. We select each component with care and tailor the solution to your application.

We deliver complete solutions, are experts in hydrostatic and hydrodynamic bearings, and build our systems on modular components, making them flexible, easy to service and cost-effective – minimising the number of spare parts, optimising inventory and helping to reduce downtime.

Our lubrication systems are built with carefully selected components:

  • Oil is filtered to the right purity level and cooled before it reaches the lubrication point
  • Standby pumps and duplex filters can be integrated for increased redundancy
  • Pumps are mounted outside the oil tank for easy access and service
  • Tank design deflects air from the oil to prevent foaming

Whether you are looking for a standard solution or a complete lubrication unit with installation materials, you will get a solution tailored to your specific application. HydX takes care of the whole, contributes with experienced technical support and delivers security, efficiency and long-term co-operation.

In our 20 years of working with the mining industry, we have faced significant challenges — and solved them. One example is a lubrication unit we built in a container in Ystad, adapted for extreme heat and strict local regulations, and shipped to central Africa. A true plug-and-play success.

Maximum reliability - modular and mobile solutions for the mining industry

In the mining industry, operational reliability is crucial. Mines are often located in inaccessible terrain, and every second of downtime means direct loss of revenue. That's why we've developed a modular system with built-in redundancy, where every critical function has a backup. If one component fails, the process continues. Cooling, pumps and power supply are designed for 24/7 operation in highly demanding environments.

Our standardised components allow the same pump model to be used at multiple sites, reducing the need for unique spare parts, optimising inventory, and increasing flexibility – thereby lowering the risk of downtime.

Through data collection and IoT monitoring, operational data is analysed in real time, enabling trend analysis and predictive maintenance that reduces service costs and eliminates unnecessary downtime.

The mining industry places extreme demands on efficient cooling systems. Our solutions use water cooling optimised for high heat, dust and vibration – without loss of performance. We have customised and built containerised units in Ystad and delivered them as plug & play solutions to some of the world's most challenging sites.

Hydrostatic storage - our core competence

Our experts specialise in hydrostatic oil lubrication systems for large roller mills, where precision is key. The systems must deliver precisely the correct pressure, the right level of purity and stable temperature – every time. This type of hydraulics, often with high-viscosity oils and high operating requirements, places particularly high demands on both design and component selection.
One of our key areas of expertise is precisely this – come to us with your questions!

FAQ

Hydraulics work well in the mining environment. It is used to drive, steer and control heavy machinery and process equipment - such as mills, crushers, valves and conveyors. The systems rely on pressurised oil to transmit power with high precision, even under extreme conditions such as heat, dust and vibration.

Yes, we offer complete solutions for energy functions in mining equipment - from operation and control to service and maintenance. Our systems are divided into different modules for each function, but delivered as a coordinated package. We can take full responsibility for the mill, including hydraulics, lubrication systems and controls - complete, customised and fully integrated.

Remote control of underground places high demands on both technology and communication. At HydX, we have the expertise and products required to develop autonomous and remote-controlled solutions that work in harsh environments.

Supported by our global partners, our application engineers can develop customised systems to meet the specific challenges of mines adapted to environments where traditional technologies are not sufficient.

The difference lies mainly in environmental requirements. Underground, there are higher demands for compact, flameproof and reliable systems. Space is often tighter, and ventilation is limited. Above ground, there is more space and easier access, allowing greater flexibility in system design. But whatever the environment, high reliability and correct dimensioning are required - something we at HydX have extensive knowledge of and long experience of adapting to.
