Wood chipper monitoring
Pulp mill chippers: rotor, knives, bearings — Artesis, SDT, Bently. KEG TRK.
Chippers
Chippers set chip quality for cooking. Rotor unbalance, knife and bearing wear grow under shock loads — sudden failure stops digester feed and chip storage.
Monitor rotor/motor bearings, unbalance after knife changes, drive/gearbox/coupling, casing vibration. Artesis + SDT/SCOUT; correlate with chip conveyors and digesters.
See digesters, belt conveyors.
On pulp mills chipper impact spectra drown in plant noise — fixed SDT points and Artesis current trends give a comparable baseline.
SDT for wood chipper monitoring monitoring
SDT Ultrasound instruments deliver full acoustic condition monitoring in dusty, noisy plants
Artesis — continuous drive monitoring
Artesis EMCM analyzes motor current and voltage without sensors on the machine
Bently Nevada — vibration diagnostics
Permanent and distributed systems for critical mining assets
Olympus — thickness gauging and videoscopes
When vibration finds a symptom, Olympus confirms metal, weld or internal cavity condition
