Conveyor Idler Bearing Monitor
Failure of conveyor systems is a significant problem in the mining industry, causing extended downtime, lost productivity, and increased risk of fire.
The most common cause of conveyor failure (and belt damage) is bearing seizure in the idlers supporting the belt.
Inspectors currently use individual audio assessment, without technical documentation, to detect faulty bearings. This highly unreliable and subjective method only detects bearings in the late stage of fragmentation, resulting in costly unscheduled maintenance.
BAMbino® is the world’s first portable Bearing Acoustic Monitor that provides accurate, easy and early detection of faulty idler bearings. BAMbino®, is a handheld portable instrument that extracts bearing fault signatures measured from a distance of 0.5m to 5m away from the belt.
A visual and audible alarm gives early notice of bearing damage whilst ranking the severity of the detected fault, allowing forward planning of cost effective maintenance.
