Do you know how much fuel your card burns per day?？

For large mining cards，May burn 4000 per day-About 5000 liters。Air consumption varies from engine to engine，But most modern diesels burn 12% per liter of fuel burned,000 to 20,000 liters of air。

If you consider the dust that permeates the air in most mining areas,，Imagine that againAn engine may consume 100 per day.,000,000 liters of air，You will know that this is a very serious challenge.，Strict requirements are put forward for the performance of high-quality filter elements.。

Compared to the mine card，Digging machine、Rig、Equipment such as loaders and motor graders are used in more extreme environments。Take an open-pit coal mine as an example.，A large amount of coal dust is often produced in the process of mining and transportation.，Once the dust enters the engine, it will cause wear and tear on a large number of expensive mechanical equipment in the mining area.，Increase the maintenance cost of the equipment，And that service life is reduce.。How to effectively filter dust and find a one-stop high-quality filter procurement service has long plagued many mine managers.。

The one-stop mining equipment solution provided by Donaldson can not only reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of mine management，But also can efficiently protect that health of mine equipment and mine staff.，At the same time, mine technicians are full of praise for the filtration effect of Donaldson products.。
“There is too much dust in the mine.，Other filter elements have also been purchased，The effect is not good，Always low horsepower，The driver responded that there was no special power to step on the refueling plate.，Until a friend recommended a Donaldson filter.，It works very well，The mine car never had a low horsepower failure again.，Since then, I trust Donaldson filter even more.。”

Project background

An open-pit mine in Shanxi Province is one of the largest open-pit coal mines in China.。The mine uses the United StatesCAT、Komatsu, Japan、P&HAnd other European and American countries to import equipment for excavation.，Carry out all-round modern management。Imported mine card、Rig、More than 500 sets of construction machinery and equipment，High-powered engines need a high standard of filter quality to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.。

Main problems faced by filter element procurement in opencast coal mine:

High procurement costs：There are many kinds of equipment in open-pit coal mines.，Each device has its own specific filtering needs，This makes procurement relatively expensive.。In addition，Because many filter elements of large mining equipment belong to non-inventory products,，Long procurement cycle，Prices are also relatively high.。

It is difficult to purchase，Need high quality filter element：Due to the poor working environment of the open-pit coal mine equipment,，Many devices require the use of special materials.、Manufacturing process and high quality products with high filtration efficiency，This makes procurement more difficult.。At the same time，Due to the uncertainty of equipment operation，Procurement plans are often difficult to predict accurately，It further increases the difficulty of procurement.。

Supplier management issues：There are usually a large number of suppliers of filter elements.，And the quality is uneven，This brings great challenges to procurement management.。How to choose the right supplier，Ensure that it can provide high quality、Prompt service，It is an important problem to be solved in the purchase of filter elements in open-pit coal mines.。

Logistics distribution problem：Due to the wide distribution of open-pit coal mine equipment,，The distribution of filter elements often needs to be fast.、Accurate。Logistics distribution is also an aspect that needs to be paid attention to in the procurement of maintenance parts in open-pit coal mines.。

Quality control issues：The quality of the filter element directly affects the operation condition and life of the equipment.。So，It is necessary to strictly control the quality of the filter element in the procurement process.。However，Due to the wide variety of filter elements，The quality is uneven，Quality control is also a difficult problem.。

Procurement planning and inventory management issues：How to Make a Reasonable Purchase Plan，Ensure that the inventory can meet the needs of equipment operation，It won't take up too much money.，It is an important issue to be considered in the purchase of filter elements in open-pit coal mines.。
