on Mine Sites.
Across mining operations, we’ve found a common pattern: repeated failures, misdiagnosed issues, and parts replaced without root cause investigation.
In many cases, bearings are failing prematurely, not because of poor manufacturing, but because of overlooked systemic problems:
- Improper sealing selection in high-contamination areas
- Relying on grease as a sealing medium
- Incorrect bearing design for the application
- OEM equipment not built for actual on-site conditions
Our field engineers have supported sites dealing with breakdowns on conveyor pulleys, fans, motors, gearboxes, crushers, and more.
If you’ve ever felt like your failure reports don’t go anywhere, or you’ve replaced the same part too many times, you’re not the problem. The system is.
It's Not Just the Failure. It's the Mindset Behind It.
There’s a belief embedded in too many maintenance plans:
– Bearings just wear out.
– Failures are inevitable.
– This is just how it is.
Zombie Myth: the industry autopilot where failures are accepted, replacements are routine, and the root cause is ignored.
It shows up as:
- Reports filed without action
- Replacements ordered without investigation
- “It’s just wear and tear” used as an excuse
- Suppliers selling parts but rarely solving problems
- Maintenance teams trapped in reactive cycles
This mindset isn’t malicious. It’s momentum.
But here’s the truth: bearings don’t just fail. Misalignment, improper sealing, contamination, and poor bearing selection are signs of deeper system issues.
The Zombie Myth thrives when we stop questioning those signals.
DASH Engineering kills the myth with root-cause clarity.
Our Way. We Engineer What's Next.
At DASH Engineering, we believe failure is not the end; it’s the opportunity to engineer something better. We don’t stop at the diagnosis. We design the fix.
We deliver:
- Root Cause Analysis
- Custom mechanical fixes
- Seal upgrades and system redesign, tailored to real conditions
- On-site training so your team understands what really caused the failure
- BFARs to performance validation. The full lifecycle support
You don’t need more parts. You need fewer shutdowns.
You don’t need better band-aids. You need the truth behind the breakdown. That’s what we offer: with field credibility, engineering clarity, and long-term results.
