Bently Nevada helps smart mining: core technology to extend equipment life
Introduction In modern mines, especially in highly automated operation scenarios, sudden failure of key equipment will not only lead to production stoppage, but also may bring safety risks and high maintenance costs. With the continuous development of smart mining, enterprises have an increasingly strong demand for preventive maintenance and condition prediction systems. As a global leading provider of asset health management and equipment monitoring solutions, Bently Nevada is using its advanced technology to help mines significantly extend the service life of core machinery. This article will analyze the specific application and value of its technology in automated mine operations. High-reliability condition monitoring, designed for complex mining environments In automated mines, rotating mechanical equipment such as crushing equipment, conveying systems, ore dressing mills and ventilation equipment are the core of production. These equipment need to deal with a variety of harsh working conditions such as dust, vibration, high temperature and high load, and are prone to performance degradation. Products such as the 3500 series equipment protection system launched by Bently Nevada have the ability to collect vibration, temperature, pressure and speed data in real time. High-precision proximity sensors, vibration probes and accelerometers can quickly identify hidden dangers such as bearing loss, axial offset and rotor imbalance, allowing maintenance personnel to take targeted measures in time to prevent problems before they occur. Compared with traditional post-maintenance methods, this data-driven maintenance model can achieve higher equipment availability and operating efficiency. In addition, Bently Nevada's products adopt industrial-grade protection design, with good vibration, dust and temperature resistance, which perfectly meets the stringent operating requirements of surface or underground mines. Predictive technology drives intelligent maintenance decisions Another major advantage of Bently Nevada is that it converts complex data into valuable maintenance information. With the help of System 1 status management platform, mining users can use graphical analysis tools and trend modeling technology to gain in-depth insights into the operating status of key equipment. The system's embedded intelligent algorithm can identify abnormal trends in equipment health, such as continuous increase in vibration amplitude and abnormal temperature, thereby triggering early warnings. Maintenance engineers can view the operating status of equipment in real time, generate diagnostic reports and deploy response strategies through remote terminals. Predictive maintenance also helps companies optimize spare parts reserves and maintenance personnel scheduling resources, abandon time-based maintenance cycles, and instead formulate intervention plans based on the actual status of the equipment, which not only saves resources but also reduces the ris...
