What We See 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.

Trusted by the Teams Who Refuse to Accept Failure as Normal

We work with some of the most respected mining operations across Australia. These are teams that were tired of replacing parts and ready to engineer solutions that last.
