PT. Galaksi Mandiri Utama | 3× Longer Filter Life
Proven results
The Challenge
At remote nickel mines in Indonesia, PT. Galaksi Mandiri Utama faced catastrophic downtime across a fleet of 16 JCB JS205 excavators. Fuel filters were clogging after only 250 hours, forcing machines offline and requiring expensive service vehicles to make long trips to site.
The combination of contaminated fuel and difficult operating conditions was threatening productivity and inflating the total cost of ownership.
The Solution
Following consultation with Mandiri JCB, FuelActive was installed on all 16 excavators. Using bottom-feed units designed for the JCB JS205, the system ensured engines only drew clean fuel from the tank.
Telematics data compared machines fitted with FuelActive against standard units, with filter life carefully monitored to validate the results. The rollout has now included 30 tonne excavators and over 100 products in total.
“By tripling fuel filter life, FuelActive has delivered a step-change in uptime and reliability. For remote operations, the savings in callouts, repairs, and lost production are invaluable.”
