Haver & Boecker Niagara expands Pulse portfolio

Pulse Condition Monitoring is the most detailed, accurate monitoring system available to customers.” Pulse Condition Monitoring is the next level in the Pulse portfolio, accompanying the company’s Pulse Vibration Analysis. Similar to Pulse Vibration Analysis, the Pulse CM system analyses data to help users get the most out of their equip- ment. Unlike Pulse Vibration Analysis, Pulse CM uses permanently installed sensors to monitor equipment 24/7. The system captures real time infor- mation on monitored equipment and provides alerts via e-mail when it detects the first sign of potential problems. By constantly monitoring the accelerations of the vibration screen, Pulse CM provides a forecast of the equipment’s dynamic condition in intervals of 48 hours, five days, and four weeks. The system detects anomalies that will point an operation’s maintenance team to specific areas of the equipment that may require atten- tion. With consistent use, Pulse CM will accurately point out and predict critical issues and advise when to schedule maintenance, along with what to focus on during that planned downtime. To collect all data from the body controls have been integrated. Using the large radio remote control, the plants are moved from the low loader and the set-up procedure can be carried out con- veniently and at a safe distance from the machine. The small radio remote control can be used to execute all relevant func- tions comfortably from the excavator. Diesel fill level, average fuel consump- tion, average plant performance, gap setting, utilisation rate and a lot more important process data can be displayed at any time via the dashboard. In most cases, operators no longer have to leave the cabin or interrupt the ongoing process. They can detect, for example, at the smartphone that the diesel fill level is low and order fresh supplies directly from the driver’s cab. Operators can see the machine utilisa- tion rate at a glance and therefore regu- late loading. They can also receive data on the daily output already achieved

Haver & Boecker Niagara has expanded its Pulse portfolio with the introduction of Pulse Condition Monitoring (Pulse CM). The technology is designed to monitor the health of vibrating screens using modern algorithms and artificial intelligence. It provides accurate measurements and forecasts complemented by infor- mation that is easy to understand. Pulse CM is a wireless diagnostics tool that helps mineral processing operations be proactive, rather than reactive, when it comes to maintenance efforts. This leads to increased efficiency, decreased down- time and improved reliability. Haver & Boecker Niagara will highlight Pulse CM at booth 7301 in Central Hall at MINExpo 2021, September 13 – 15, in Las Vegas. “Haver & Boecker Niagara has a history of developing solutions to help producers increase their uptime,” says Thiago Buoso, Haver & Boecker Niagara project and sales engineer. “Unexpected downtime is a huge source of lost reve- nue for producers, so we aim to create products and technology that prevent that. Additionally, there is a lack of reliable systems like this on the market. The innovative digital operating concept SPECTIVE from Kleemann has optimised the control options of crushing plants in a trendsetting manner. With the SPECTIVE CONNECT extension, Kleemann goes one step further. All relevant pro- cess information and reporting are now displayed on your smartphone without having to leave the feeding device. With its SPECTIVE operating concept, Kleemann believes it is now the sector leader with regards to user interfaces. The plant is started via the 12 inch SPECTIVE touch panel directly at the plant. The intuitive operating concept makes it easy for users to choose the necessary settings. Once it has been set, the plant then runs in automatic mode. When a plant train is used, after initial set-up the operator can connect to the complete plant train, not just each individual plant. As a new feature in the SPECTIVE world, the radio remote

and drive components, Pulse CM is equipped with a gateway that can connect with up to 20 wireless sensors, within a radius of up to 75 m. Using a cellular signal or Wi-Fi from the plant, it will send all data to the Haver & Boecker Niagara cloud, available through the company’s web app. The sensor con- figurations are customisable and placed on both the body and bearings of the vibrating screen. The gateway can also be positioned between two screens operating near one another. l Pulse CM is a wireless diagnostics tool that helps mineral processing operations be proactive, rather than reactive, when it comes to maintenance efforts. and also compare it to the previous day – and a lot more. SPECTIVE CONNECT from Kleemann provides more safety for the operator, higher plant availabil- ity, higher utilisation and thus higher cost-effectiveness. In future the operator in the cabin can obtain a plant overview of the infeed and the complete crushing plant via the camera system on the smartphone display. In case of a malfunction, SPECTIVE CONNECT displays not only a general fault but, at the same time, the corre- sponding components incl. troubleshoot- ing aids. The smartphone can be taken to the location of the fault that occurred and support the operator step by step with fault elimination. The SPECTIVE CONNECT app automat- ically generates clearly arranged reports on consumption and plant performance as well as the plant usage. These reports
