Integrated monitoring solutions for critical mining assets
Our solutions for this industry
Mining equipment runs 24/7 in dust, moisture and shock loads. A mill or conveyor failure stops the entire concentrator line — early defect detection and condition-based maintenance are essential.
SDT Ultrasound
Early bearing faults on crushers, mills and conveyors plus precision greasing by acoustic signal — through dust and noise, without shutdown.
Learn moreArtesis — motor current monitoring
Mill, conveyor and pump drives diagnosed from the MCC — no on-machine sensors, ideal for remote and hard-to-reach quarry assets.
Learn moreBently Nevada — vibration monitoring
Orbit DCM on conveyors and crushers, 3500 on mills: continuous vibration protection and automatic trip.
