Conveyors, ID/FD Fans and Large Ventilators: Artesis e-MCM for Metals and Power Plants
Belt conveyors and boiler fans — hundreds of auxiliaries with high downtime cost. How ESA catches bearings, misalignment and fouling from the motor cabinet.
Metals plants and CHPs in Kazakhstan run hundreds of auxiliary drives — conveyors, ID/FD fans, feeders, cooling pumps. Artesis e-MCM gives continuous monitoring from the MCC; AMT Pro covers the long tail on routes.
Conveyors
Typical faults: bearing wear, misalignment, belt slip, overload, jam — all change motor torque and current. Sensors on dusty gearboxes are costly to maintain. See also jaw crusher / conveyor comparison.
ID/FD fans
Bearing wear (including electrical erosion), rotor fouling imbalance, efficiency loss. Stack with SDT ultrasound and field balancing. Part of 4-method PdM on CHP/metals.
Early signs in current
Rising average current at same duty, torque pulsation at 1× RPM, step change on jam, traffic-light severity + time-to-failure estimate.
Priority
- Production stoppers — main ID/FD fans, export conveyors.
- Fleet of similar motors — AMT Pro route, promote chronic cases to e-MCM.
