Vibration analysis of mining industry conveyor belt systems: validation of method and pathways to improvement (Old ID 26579)
Department of Industry, Rolco Pty Ltd
Role
Principal Investigator
Description
Equipment failures in the mining industry can cause serious safety hazards and substantial financial losses. An automated, cost-effective monitoring system that could be retrofitted to existing equipment would provide advance warning to operators and reduce the likelihood of unscheduled outages. This project will test and validate a vibration-based monitoring system for conveyor belts and associated equipment. It will also identify improved methods to analyse the vibration data to increase the sensitivity and/or accuracy of the alerts that are generated.
