Identification of fault in a Belt Conveyor Scraper

Raspador primário

Belt Conveyor Scraper: See how the Vale team identified a fault using Dynamox technology On June 12, 2024, the maintenance team from Vale, in Brucutu, installed TcAs sensors on the primary and secondary scrapers of this belt conveyor. The mission was to verify the efficiency of the technology in identifying defects or potential faults in… Continue reading Identification of fault in a Belt Conveyor Scraper

RAM analysis: maintainability, availability and reliability

The acronym RAM stands for Reliability, Avaliability and Maintenability, the pillars for the industry to function as expected. And to measure these indicators, there are a series of tools and methods that help make these concepts tangible: RAM analysis. RAM analysis aims to ensure that operating, maintenance and disposal costs remain below an acceptable level.… Continue reading RAM analysis: maintainability, availability and reliability

Drilling rig: failure modes and monitoring solutions

A drilling rig is a machine used for drilling into the ground or into rocks when they are extremely rigid or require deep drilling. There are three main drilling techniques: Failure modes in drilling rig components Combustion engine faults This component is responsible for transforming thermal energy into mechanical energy, providing the driving force needed… Continue reading Drilling rig: failure modes and monitoring solutions

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

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
