Technical Auditing Services (Pty)Ltd
Bank in Roodepoort

We carry out Technical Audits on Lifts, Man Conveyors and Winding plants used on mines to lower/raise Men/Ore/Material. [Dynamic Brake tests, False bank tests, Testing the Slack/tight rope systems].We test the safety aspect of operation of your plants, the operation of the braking system as well as Guide deceleration tests to check the alignment of your shaft steel work.With 10 Inspectors we have a total of about 300 years experience in the winder industry.We also offer a variety of courses on winders.We carry out work any where in the world. We carry out all tests as required by the Inspector of Machinery.

Conveyance oscillation and time, drum speed and time as well as the position of the brake engine. Although magnetic rope testing is very important, the magnetic test results on their own are not sufficient for determining the condition of the rope. Various other physical measurements are taken to determine the true nature of the defect and to assess the condition of the rope at that location. The inspections are carried out as a safety and over inspection of the winding plant and to supplement the inspections or tests carried out by the mines regular maintenance staff or contractors. The experience of the Technicians carrying out these inspections results in the mines staff receiving valuable training at times. Conveyance oscillation and time, drum speed and time as well as the position of the brake engine and the current in the armature loop are recorded. From this optimum brake adjustments can be determined. We are in the process of designing a system that will measure a guide gauge throughout the shaft and we will supply you with a hard copy of the results. All our winder audit inspectors are multi-disciplined which enhances the quality of each inspection. The company is thus committed to providing services to the high standards which have been maintained since As a completely independent inspection team you are assured of unbiased factual reporting of deficiencies and shortcomings. All rotating equipment vibrates, but as older bearings and components reach the end of their product life, they begin to vibrate more dramatically and in distinct ways or if alignment is done incorrectly then it can cut the lifespan of rotating equipment by half. More than 50% of the damage caused to rotating machinery can be attributed directly to misalignment as this fundamentally increase vibrations. Sheave profiling is a method used to determine what the side wear and the depth wear is on the sheave wheel. This method is to ensure that the sheave wheel is in the recommended criteria. Drum laser profiling is a method used to determine what the groove is on the drum of the winder. This method is to ensure that the groove is in the recommended criteria. Non destructive testing (NDT) is methods use to examine components or assemblies for discontinuities, or differences in characteristics without destroying the serviceability of the part or system.
