The cement industry
The primary machines monitored in this industry include crushers, mills, separators, roller presses, separators, conveyors, feeders, air compressors and fans. Many of these machines use rolling-element bearings and are powered by electric motors with gearboxes. Brüel & Kjær Vibro have perfected the monitoring and diagnostic techniques for rolling-element bearings and gearboxes to a high level, and under the most demanding operating conditions as well.
Find out how the VCM-3 can help you to save costs and increase the reliability of your systems in the cement industry.
The maritime industry
Brüel & Kjær Vibro are currently monitoring a wide range of merchant and military ships that are powered by diesel engines, gas turbines, and nuclear reactors. Their monitoring solutions focus on the main bearings, shafts, couplings, gearboxes, electric motors, and turbochargers.
VCM-3, our cutting-edge monitoring device is a perfect fit for assets in the maritime industry.
Steel production facilities
The cold rolling mill portion of the plant is the most extensively monitored, but one of the most challenging because of the environmental conditions. The working rolls are monitored to not only detect bearing defects but also to maintain the quality of the steel being produced.
Automatically detect developing faults early with VCM-3, and get a reliable diagnostic indication on the type of fault and its severity for your steel production machines.
Pulp and paper processing
Numerous rolls and felts on the paper machine are typically monitored in this industry. Monitoring is done to determine the condition of the rolling-element bearings of the rolls, roll alignment, roll balance, felt quality, roll surface quality, and the condition of the electric motors and gearboxes. The quality of the paper is also optimized by monitoring the rolls to ensure “chatter” due to resonant vibration does not occur.
VCM-3 will keep your machines rolling!
