Failure Analysis


The Failure Analysis service stands as the core offering of Prominer. Derived from extensive experience in conducting failure analysis and a deep understanding of heavy machinery, this service centers on the meticulous examination of parts and machine components that have failed to meet targeted life expectations. The primary objective is to pinpoint the failure mode, determine the root causes behind these failures, and propose recommendations that will aid in formulating strategies to prevent similar issues in the future.

The approach taken is systematic, employing a well-established methodology. The findings form the foundation for solid recommendations, all of which are compiled into a comprehensive report. This document not only provides immediate answers but also serves as a valuable reference for future preventive measures, contributing to long-term equipment reliability and safety.

The failure analysis process is thorough, extending beyond mere problem identification. It delves into the intricacies of material properties, stress distributions, and the operational conditions that led to the failures. Understanding these underlying factors allows businesses to implement precise solutions that minimise risks and prevent similar failures from recurring.

Failure investigations are seen not merely as a process of fixing issues, but as a valuable opportunity for learning and improvement. By exploring the complexities behind equipment breakdowns, businesses can implement preventive measures. These measures enhance the overall reliability and safety of machinery, thus improving operational efficiency.

In the long run, a proactive approach to failure analysis can lead to significant resource and downtime savings. By eliminating or reducing damaging factors and enhancing operational efficiency, businesses can optimise returns on machine investment. Failure analysis is pivotal for improving machinery reliability and maximising operational efficiency. Furthermore, it establishes a solid foundation for predictive maintenance, reducing unexpected breakdowns and increasing equipment lifespan.
