On our expert blog we publish in-depth articles on our expertises: vibration, speed and SIL.
Flow meters and dust monitoring equipment in grain processing
Grain is one of the most important arable crops in the Netherlands. Various processes are needed to convert raw grains into usable nutrients. In this article, we highlight the equipment…
Automated vibration analysis – 4 considerations
In recent years, the application of condition monitoring and predictive maintenance has been growing significantly, due to increasing demands for machine availability and overall efficiency. Technological developments like big data,…
A brief history of vibration
In 1939, T.C. Rathbone published a paper called ‘Vibration Tolerance‘ in the magazine Power Plant Engineering. The ideas in this paper are considered the foundation of modern industrial vibration measurements.…
8 effects of machine vibrations
Monitoring machine vibrations affords greater control over the safety and availability of the equipment. It reduces unscheduled downtime and potential damage or failure can be resolved at an early stage.…
Flow equipment and dust monitoring at a waste-to-energy plant
In a waste-to-energy plant, we encounter various subprocesses to convert waste into energy. The entire process can roughly be divided into four subprocesses: waste input, resource recovery, the combustion process,…
Flow equipment and dust monitoring at a waste-to-energy plant
In a waste-to-energy plant, various subprocesses convert waste into energy. The entire process can be roughly divided into four subprocesses: waste intake, resource recovery, the combustion process, and flue gas…
Choosing the right accelerometer mount: 6 effective methods explained
In a previous article, we wrote about 11 important considerations for choosing the right accelerometer. However, to achieve reliable measurement results, the mounting method is crucial for maximizing accuracy. Various…
Rapid detection of filter damage with the dust detector ‘Dusty’
The Dusty dust detector is designed for rapid detection of dust particles after a filtration process and is installed in metal pipes where dust particles in the gas need to…
Continuous measurement of dust concentration reduces the risk of dust explosion
The AirSafe from Envea (formerly SWR) is a measurement instrument designed to monitor dust concentration in ambient air. Envea’s tribo-electric sensor technology has proven its reliability in thousands of applications…
Infographic: Which Vibration Monitoring Strategy fits my machine?
When it has been decided to start a machine condition monitoring program on a machine to start a predictive maintenance strategy, it appears that there a various possibilities how this can…
