Projects

Development of an Intergrated Oil Quality and Vibration Monitoring System, For Condition-based Maintenance of Hydraulic Systems, case study Mine Machines.(Final year)2019 The purpose of this research was to develop a condition monitoring system for machine hydraulic systems. The lack of real time machine data and process performance data in mining machinery results in reactive and unplanned maintenance leading to downtime and machine unavailability.Proteus was used for the circuit design and circuit analysis, data analysis techniques, implementation of algorithms and computer coding techniques. An expert system was developed with the capability of monitoring four machine parameters. A maintenance decision support platform on the system will aid in the conducting of maintenance corresponding to the diagnostics. Tongatt Hullets Planned Maintenance (Off-crop)

The purpose of the project was to do an Off-crop maintenance of the Tongaatt Hullets Milling and Process Section by doing the following

Clarifier No1 and No2 floors and juice rings replacement. Underground pipe repair and replacement

Repairing mixed juice tank.

Repairing V1 pipe above B line separator.

Fabrication and Installation of Trommel bin for Sugar floor. Fabrication and Installation of Crystallizer Crown wheel covers. ZimPlats 3.1 MTPA BIMHA implementation project under SMPP(Structural Mechanical Plate work and Piping (2022-2024) The purpose of this project was to increase the Zimplats P4(BIMHA Mine) annual production Tonnage from 2.2 Million tonnes per annum to 3.1 Million tonnes per annum by doing the following Underground North Crushing Plant installation and Commissioning (Metso C150 Jaw Crusher) Underground North Rock Breaker Installation and commissioning Underground Decline Conveyor CVB 455 extension, CVB 461 and CVB 463 installation (Belt pulling and splicing)and commissioning
