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.
Screw conveyor: FS team avoids 6h downtime and loss of nearly $80,000 using Dynamox Solution
Screw conveyor shows increase in vibration levels and team discovers problem in reducer bearing.
Gearbox: main types and possible failures
Gearbox are important assets in many industries. Find out about some types and possible faults.
Angular misalignment: early diagnosis saved Ultragaz USD 7,000
The use of Dynamox solution contributed to the diagnosis of an angular misalignment in an LPG pump, whose corrective maintenance cost is estimated at R$35,000. Check out the details of this case:
Proactive maintenance: convincing leadership of its benefits
Proactive maintenance aims to identify the root causes of failures in assets and prevent them from causing irreversible damage to equipment. Learn more about the concept of proactive maintenance, the strategies involved, and how predictive maintenance relates to it.
Cavitation in industrial pumps: understand this phenomenon
Cavitation is a phenomenon characterized by vaporization and bubble formation caused by changes in pressure. Cavitation failures can affect the operation of pumps and, in some cases, totally compromise the equipment. Read this article and learn more about what cavitation is, how to avoid it and how to solve this problem.
