Concrete is the world’s most used building material and will continue to be crucial in future construction projects and infrastructure development. The production of high-quality concrete requires precise material composition and good process control, including aggregate and water addition, weighing, mixing, pouring, and cleaning. In addition, concrete production is also very energy-intensive.

Challenge

A breakdown of the motor in a concrete mixer can result in the loss of the concrete batch in production as it hardens in the mixer. In addition to losing the batch, downtime of the mixer causes lost production and thus revenues as well as having to replace the lost batch. Additionally, if the concrete solidifies, removing it becomes time- consuming and costly.

Solution

  • Implementing a monitoring system using vibration, temperature, and/or current sensors enables operators to detect when the motor requires maintenance.
  • By collecting data from Neuron Sensors
    and setting appropriate alarm limits, operators receive early warnings of motor anomalies, allowing them to schedule planned maintenance accordingly.
  • Consequently, unnecessary maintenance time is minimized.

What you get

  • Eliminates unforeseen breakdowns and downtime
  • Maintenance can be scheduled well in advance
  • Increases motor lifespan
  • Collects valuable data for analysis
  • Alerts can be sent via SMS, email, or appnotifications
  • Enhances operational efficiency
  • Optimizes workforce utilization
  • Enables scheduling of production stops whenthe mixer is not in use
  • Reduces and streamlines maintenance efforts
