Grain rolling mills: everything you need to know
Grain rolling mills are assets responsible for processing cereals in order to turn them into food suitable for animal digestion. Grain rolling takes place by passing the grain between two rollers, which can be smooth, knurled or grooved. This process crushes and fragments the grains. The nutritional value of the processed cereals is thus altered,… Continue reading Grain rolling mills: everything you need to know
Locomotives: understand how these assets operate
Learn more about locomotives, their components, failure modes and the particularities of monitoring these assets.
Thickeners: learn about the most common types and the main faults
Thickeners are important assets in the industrial process. Learn about the main types and some common faults
Hydrocyclone: learn about the most common faults
Hydrocyclones are equipment used to separate solids from liquids or liquids of different densities. This asset has a cylindrical-conical vessel with a tangential inlet flow at the top, an outlet at the bottom (the apex) through which the denser or larger material is removed, if it is solid – called the underflow. As well as… Continue reading Hydrocyclone: learn about the most common faults
Industrial generator failures: what you need to know
Industrial generators are responsible for supplying industries with their electricity needs. As such, they are used in production flows that demand more energy than the traditional distribution network can offer or reach. These assets work in a similar way to the generators used to supply residential energy, but they have a much greater energy production… Continue reading Industrial generator failures: what you need to know
Blowers: learn about the most common faults and how to detect them
Blowers are a strategic asset in the production process. Check out ways to increase its reliability.
Industrial compressors: learn about the main faults
Compressors are responsible for compressing air, gases or other fluids, changing pressure and controlling flow. Learn about the most common faults
Electric motors: 5 cases of condition analysis
Faults in electric motor drives can result in very high costs for companies. That’s why it’s important to implement monitoring systems that can supervise them properly and thus predict or anticipate possible future problems.
