Alfa Laval CM (Condition Monitoring)
Alfa Laval CM (Condition Monitoring)
It is a small, handy wireless vibration monitoring appliance called Alfa Laval CM that monitors the performance of rotating machinery, such as pumps, mixers and agitators. Increased manufacturing uptime with low costs. More informed decision making to safeguard essential plant assets. Vibration level sensed and alarms operators via visible LED in the display and any connected mobile device when preset thresholds are exceeded.
The Alfa Laval CM makes use of sophisticated data for vibration, temperature and operational runtime to keep track of equipment health and enables reliable continuous operations.
CM monitors rotating machinery and identifies performance deviations. This is possible by gathering and evaluating data from the rotating gear. The obtained data allows operators to decide quickly and accurately, thus giving better maintenance planning and avoiding potential problems. It lowers the total ownership cost and increases efficiency to minimizes equipment failure chances and optimizes uptime.
Alfa Laval CM (Condition Monitoring) Application
Benefit :
- Monitor relative temperature, vibration and running time of your machinery. The condition monitoring system was originally designed for compatibility with Alfa Laval pumps. From the point of view of maintenance management according to the real condition of your equipment, condition monitoring systems monitor trend and log data at preset intervals.
- During routine facility inspections, utilize the companion mobile app on your iOS or Android smartphone or tablet to monitor the pump. A visible LED indicator can also be used to determine a machine’s operational status. This enables maintenance workers to maximize equipment availability while managing their time effectively.
- The CM condition monitor uses user-friendly machine learning algorithms to help operators make maintenance and process shutdown decisions based on actionable data including time to next service, trend analysis and actual runtime.
- Worker safety is improved by providing dependable and secure remote monitoring of your systems and equipment. Remote troubleshooting significantly reduces maintenance costs while increasing worker productivity and efficiency.
- The battery-operated condition monitor is easy to set up and use. It sends data to an easy-to-use dashboard on any iOS or Android device and connects via Bluetooth to a simple app.
The Alfa Laval CM condition monitor collects and retains machine data via an internal temperature sensor and a three-axis accelerometer. When the condition monitoring apparatus detects vibration, it starts the run-time counter. Following that, it monitors the device’s triaxial vibration and internal temperature continuously at user-specified intervals.
Users within 20 meters of the CM can access data via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) on their iOS or Android devices by downloading the simple and user-friendly app. Users can study vibration data that has been translated using fast Fourier transform (FFT) methods, compare the current operating condition to benchmark values and use an intuitive dashboard to determine how to rectify any issues to avoid equipment failure.
The app displays the current state of the CM battery, total run-time, historical vibration and internal temperature data, and detailed machine information such as vibration levels and frequency analysis. The app also allows users to discover and contact service providers.
