Ageing Water Cannon
GOSS Engineering were approached by one of the Hunter Valley coal mines to inspect and come up with a suitable repair for the leaking water cannons. On inspection of the water cannon, it was noted that a number of components had worn due to lack of lubrication which allowed the water to leak when not in use.

During the repair of the water cannon, IRS modify the bearings to allow grease to reach the sealing “O” ring. This helps prevent corrosion and “O” ring tear.
IRS also recommend fitting a single point lubricator to the swivel points to ensure sufficient grease is present at all times. We have found that this addition extends the life cannon.
