Congratulations to our employees who are celebrating milestone anniversaries with McPherson this month! We are so thankful for your hard work and dedication to this company.

We are grateful for the opportunity to work with such a wonderful company by helping secure them the best deals for all their fueling needs. We look forward to providing B&G Supply/Mitchell Foods with many more years of unbeatable service.

Step into the mines! From heavy-duty machinery like excavators, to drills and safety gear, there are a lot of moving parts in the pit. We talked to Roger Young CLS, a Senior Field Technical Advisor with Imperial Oil, to break down what goes on behind-the-scenes.   “Mining equipment is split into two main categories: loading and hauling,” Roger says. “Loading equipment means things like electric rope shovels, front-loading hydraulic shovels and hydraulic excavators that move product onto the hauling fleet. From there, haul trucks are used to transport the ore from the pit to plant operations to get processed. And they each have very different and specific #lubrication needs.”   The mining process sounds straightforward on paper, but it’s hard on the equipment. For one, #mining equipment is worked up to 22 hours per day. The duty cycle is enormous, and uptime is everything.   On top of long hours, mining sites are inherently dirty, and the roads are rough, which can be hard on suspension systems. There’s also a lack of consistency in terms of operators as several people may use each piece of equipment on the same day.   Because of these factors, proper maintenance is essential.     “Replacing/repairing this kind of machinery is costly,” Roger says. “Lubrication is the lifeblood of the machines — if folks aren’t monitoring their oil closely and taking action when necessary, the equipment can’t perform the way it needs to.”
