New Holland B90B Backhoe
With monitoring by predictive analysis, problems with external contamination, engine wear and soot were found and solved safely before causing more issues.
Through fluid analysis, ALS promotes predictive maintenance to prevent damage and inconvenience to your equipment.
Result
The cost to replace the heat exchanger, engine oil, and filter was USD 1,629.
Without predictive maintenance monitoring and the necessary replacements, radiator fluid would have continued to leak, impairing proper cooling and potentially leading to engine failure and equipment shutdown. Damage to this magnitude would require a complete engine overhaul, costing USD 21,053, not including downtime losses. The savings generated by predictive maintenance totalled USD 19,401, equivalent to 92.3%.

Analysis
With monitoring by predictive analysis, problems with external contamination, engine wear and soot were found and solved safely before causing more issues.
Diagnosis
It was recommended to stop the equipment as soon as possible to inspect the entire air intake system, such as damaged air filters, seat cover and tightening of the clamps; check the injection system settings, increased fuel consumption, dark smoke from the exhaust, abnormal noises and the presence of sludge, in addition to checking the oil level in the crankcase and possible sources of wear particles in the oil filter.
Solution
The client informed that the technician performed the oil and filter change of the engine, as he identified the presence of filings in the filter, performed the general inspection on the engine and did not identify leaks. In addition to inspecting and re-tightening the entire line of intake hoses and replacing the engine’s air intake filters.
Result
The costs of the repairs carried out were USD 53.8, in parts (oil and filters) and USD 0.00 in labor.
If the monitoring was not carried out with the predictive maintenance and necessary changes, this problem with external contamination, wear and soot would not be detected and the lubrication of the system would be impaired, causing serious damage to the system and its failure, with a value of repair estimated at USD 7,176.32 (engine rectification), without accounting for costs with the machine stopped and the loss in production.
The savings generated by predictive maintenance were USD 7,122.50 (or 99%).
Risks without analysis and predictive maintenance:
- Total fuel contamination
- Risks for the lubrication system
- Engine failure
EPIROC DM30 Drill Engine Analysis
The reports indicated to the customer the presence of external dust contamination due to high silicon concentration, as well as increased levels of Iron, Chromium, and the PQI index, suggesting possible wear on the piston rings, pistons, and cylinder liners.

EPIROC DM30 Drill Rig Motor Diagnosis
It was recommended to identify the source of contamination ingress by inspecting the air filters, checking the seating/integrity of the cover and the tightening of the clamps, verifying the oil level in the crankcase, and assessing possible power loss.
Solution – EPIROC DM30 Drill Rig Engine
The customer reported that inspections were carried out and, based on them, signs of exhaust gases were found in the intake coming from the cylinder head return. The cylinder head was removed, allowing the detection of valves and seats with poor sealing. The engine was repaired and the seals were replaced.
