Electra Mining Africa 2026 delegates can discover how advanced condition monitoring technologies are helping mining and industrial operations reduce downtime, extend equipment life and optimise maintenance planning at WearCheck’s exhibit (Stand E30 in Hall 5).
Celebrating 50 years of science-driven condition monitoring, WearCheck is a leading provider of predictive maintenance services for the African mining, manufacturing, power generation, transport and engineering sectors. At this year’s exhibition, the company will demonstrate how its laboratory and field-based diagnostic services enable organisations to make informed maintenance decisions based on scientific analysis rather than reactive repairs.
“Our goal is simple: to identify developing faults long before they result in costly equipment failures,” says WearCheck Managing Director Neil Robinson. “By monitoring the condition of critical assets while they remain in service, maintenance teams can plan interventions during scheduled shutdowns, avoid unexpected breakdowns and maximise the lifespan of expensive machinery.”
WearCheck’s renowned used-oil analysis service remains at the heart of its condition monitoring offering. By analysing lubricant samples for wear metals, contaminants and lubricant degradation, the company’s laboratories provide valuable insights into the condition of engines, gearboxes, hydraulic systems, turbines and other critical equipment.
Complementing oil analysis is a comprehensive range of specialist services, including fuel analysis, transformer chemistry, lubrication-enabled reliability programmes and asset reliability care services. Advanced field techniques, such as non-destructive testing, technical compliance inspections and rope condition assessments provide customers with a complete picture of asset health.
WearCheck’s nine experienced diagnosticians collectively contribute more than 200 years of expertise, supported by a comprehensive database of laboratory results built over five decades. Their recommendations help customers improve equipment reliability, reduce maintenance costs and increase operational efficiency.
WearCheck operates 16 laboratories across nine countries, all working to internationally recognised quality management and technical accreditation standards, ensuring customers receive accurate, reliable and consistent analytical results.
“Condition monitoring has become an essential part of modern asset management,” Robinson says. “As organisations seek to improve productivity while controlling maintenance costs, predictive maintenance provides the information needed to make confident, evidence-based decisions.”
Delegates are invited to meet WearCheck’s technical specialists at Stand E30 in Hall 5 to learn how predictive maintenance and condition monitoring can improve equipment reliability, reduce lifecycle costs and enhance operational performance.
This year, WearCheck celebrates half a century of science-driven insights and turning condition monitoring into measurable reliability.
