Dynamox detects a failure in a fluosilicic circulating pump

A large multinational potash and phosphate fertilizer producer relies on Dynamox’s predictive solution to monitor its assets, which has helped detect a failure in a circulating pump. The fluosilicic circulating pump is responsible for purifying the water in the production process. For this reason, HF+ wireless sensors have been installed, which can identify possible failures… Continue reading Dynamox detects a failure in a fluosilicic circulating pump

Wireless monitoring project: Vale Salobo and Dynamox

More than 2,000 spots monitored on critical machines. The Dynamox Team recently completed a project to install more than 2,000 wireless vibration and temperature monitoring sensors in approximately 400 assets at Vale’s Salobo mine, located in Pará. This represents a significant evolution in the amount of data collected by continuously monitoring the equipment, contributing to… Continue reading Wireless monitoring project: Vale Salobo and Dynamox

Ranking 2023: Analysis of the main maintenance failures

The analysis of the main maintenance failures is a strategy used by management teams, where it plays a fundamental role in the asset monitoring process. This is how problems that directly affect the availability and reliability of machinery and equipment are identified and analyzed. In other words, it is an analysis focused on ensuring that… Continue reading Ranking 2023: Analysis of the main maintenance failures

Dynamox’s solution identifies bearing housing defect 

The Dynamox solution was responsible for the early identification of a defect in the bearing housings of a modular vibrating screen.     Located at a client’s plant in Antônio Dias – MG, the vibrating screen is considered a critical asset for the production process and is therefore monitored by Dynamox’s wireless system.   At the end of… Continue reading Dynamox’s solution identifies bearing housing defect

Dynamox’s sensors identify failures in a conveyor belt pulley side frame

Dynamox’s technology once again proved effective in detecting failures in advance. This time, in identifying a problem in the pulley side frame, a complex component to analyze, in Vale‘s conveyor belts. Understand the process that led to problem identification and maintenance:  The following images show the Spectral Envelope graphs, including the circular waveform, before and… Continue reading Dynamox’s sensors identify failures in a conveyor belt pulley side frame

Complete guide to Predictive Maintenance

Predictive maintenance, according to the Brazilian law NBR5462, is “maintenance that ensures the monitoring of assets, based on the systematic application of analysis techniques. Using centralized supervision or sampling methods, it aims to minimize preventive maintenance to a minimum and reduce corrective maintenance”. It is a strategy applied mainly to predict and avoid failures in… Continue reading Complete guide to Predictive Maintenance

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
