Mining and beneficiation process can bring lots of disturbances into captured vibration readings. There are shocks from grinding process, extremely weak signals of interest from slow moving conveyors or agitators, to say the least of constant changes in speed and load (e.g. at the winders) that needs to be considered within data analysis stage. Within this presentation we’ll discuss the techniques of how to deal with those challenges in a way of providing your maintenance team with the longest possible pre-warning time.

Learning Takeaways:

• Low rpm assets: yes, we all can monitor them effectively

• Dynamic alerts and rpm compensation for variable load/speed applications

• Special techniques for early fault detection
