Higher Reliability Rates for Vertical Mills and Machines

Baştaş Çimento, part of the Vicat Group, was looking for a monitoring solution for its vertical mills and machines, such as dosing units, pumps or fans, which would increase the reliability of failure detection and thus the availability of the plant equipment. The goal was to improve the planning of maintenance work in order to prevent unplanned downtimes. It was a twin approach that provided the solution: For the vertical mills, the Main- tenance Department opted for the ProLink CMS vibration monitoring solution – and for the award-winning OPTIME (CM) digital condition monitoring solution for all other machines.

Results:

• With OPTIME (CM), reliability rates have increased, with 6 measurements per day and 180 measurements per month.

• With ProLink CMS, every level of the internal structure of critical installations is being monitored. Maintenance is thus benefiting from greater safety for people and machinery.
