Unit detects metal particles in lubricants
Metal detector signals the presence of metal particles, chips or dust in lubricating fluids due to bearing wear or other engine part problems and thereby prevents catastrophic failures.
Avoiding unnecessary costly repairs and minimising downtime, this recently introduced device is easily installed in a bypass pipe of the system on reciprocating equipment such as gas or diesel engines and reciprocating or rotating compressors, pumps, turbines, transmissions and gearboxes.
Compact yet robust and only needing minimal maintenance, the unit has no moving parts and a corrosion-resistant anodised aluminium body, with stainless steel available for use in other environments.
Its 'unique' grid sensing technology detects all conductive materials, including non-metallic particles, in non-conductive fluid lubrication systems.
Used either with AMOT's MPD controller or an appropriate alternative controller, it converts maintenance into a continuously predictive rather than reactive process. Request a free brochure from AMOT ...
