Mining and Quarrying Industry
For monitoring and maintaining pumps, crushers and conveyors
Specifying a Vibration Sensor
Within the coal, mining and quarrying industries, it is common for machinery to run 24/7, often under extreme environmental conditions, with high levels of dust, moisture and temperature, and in areas where access for maintenance or repair is difficult.
With machine downtime costing many thousands of dollars per hour, and with machine failure representing a safety risk, it is crucial that the rotating parts of machinery are continuously monitored as part of a predictive or preventative condition monitoring programme.
Vibration monitoring is key to the success of a preventative maintenance programme. Its use has been accepted and proven for the detection of faults that include bearing wear, misalignment of shafts and out of balance fans.
At Hansford Sensors we manufacture a full range of vibration sensors to help your business meet the challenges of monitoring and maintaining a wide range of machines used in quarrying and mining, including motors, gearboxes, pump, screens, crushers and conveyors.
