Metallic Particle Sensor
Whether it’s to check on the health of the machine, or an alert of changing wear patterns, the Metallic Particle Sensor provides instant information, complementing your existing laboratory oil analysis programme, and helping you make informed maintenance planning decisions. You already know that machines give telltale indicators of potential problems and that any change in the wear pattern is going to result in changes in the wear debris levels. That’s why your oil analysis service includes a Spectrometric Analysis and ferrous density (PQ) result.
But how frequently are you sampling? What if a problem arises between scheduled samples? Wouldn’t it make sense to be monitoring more frequently?
Well now you can....The Kittiwake Metallic Particle Sensor goes beyond the normal wear debris sensors to offer unparralled size resolution. Providing a debris count for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals which you can monitor in real-time. This allows you to take immediate action on the first indication of change, helping you prevent failure, not just catastrophic failure.
The Metallic Particle Sensor can be mounted within any lubrication system on any type of machine. The sensor measures ferrous and non-ferrous metals, resulting from the wear debris within the lubricant, using a combination of proven inductive coil technology, combined with smart algorithms to provide a particle size distribution count. You know that the more severe the wear problem, the more that the machine produces larger wear debris particulate.
The requirement for on-line machinery and oil condition monitoring is becoming evermore apparent as maintenance costs increase and production capacity and equipment performance is maximised.
While temperature, pressure and vibration sensors all have their part to play in a condition monitoring package, early detection of changes in oil and lubricant condition and regular, consistent monitoring of wear metal debris in rotating plant provide greater insight into the actual condition of vital machinery and equipment.
Kittiwake have developed a range of innovative and practical on-line sensors for wear metal debris and oil condition detection and monitoring.
The ANALEXrs range is designed to provide plant engineers and maintenance managers with real time, continuously monitored testing and analysis data for critical plant and equipment.
Suitable for use with slow, medium and high speed diesel engines, gas turbines, gearboxes, compressors, generators, vehicles and other oil filled plant, these sensors help to increase productivity, reduce costs and improve profitability.
