Wireless monitoring of conveyor belt scrapers

Scrapers are essential assets for conveyor belts and, as their name suggests, are responsible for cleaning belts by scraping off dirt. They are usually classified as primary, when they are located at the end of the belt, secondary and tertiary, depending on their location. Proper maintenance is directly linked to the good performance of other… Continue reading Wireless monitoring of conveyor belt scrapers

Sensors identify electric motor bearing defect in advance

A bearing defect was identified in the main motor of rolling mill 03 – motor 3H, which is a critical asset for the production process and is monitored by Dynamox’s wireless system. The vibration levels of a sensor installed on the motor, more specifically on the drive side, showed evolution and reached the most critical… Continue reading Sensors identify electric motor bearing defect in advance

Internal sensor installation identifies gearbox gear defects

In a mining plant, internal installation of sensors in the gearboxes of an ore slurry agitator – large equipment critical to the operation – was carried out. Because they were on the inside part, the sensors were enclosed, but this did not prevent automated collection of temperature and vibration data via the Gateway. What prompted… Continue reading Internal sensor installation identifies gearbox gear defects
