Case 01Iron Ore Mining Company
Proven outcomeChallenge
Ore build-up on the vibratory feeder pan frequently caused contact with the static chute, leading to structural cracks and catastrophic failures. Each failure resulted in ~6 hours of lost production plus repair costs.
Solution
Shortly after installation, two chutes on separate dates triggered notifications of rising velocities. Upon inspection, the maintenance team identified build-up at the back and sides of the feeders, leading to increased vibration. Preventative cleaning of the chutes was performed, averting potential structural failures.
