Stoneywood benefits from on-line surveillance

摘要

Stoneywood Mill has installed an on-line surveillance system which is integrated with the traditional manual data collection regime. The mill reports considerable cost saving and reduced down-time, through, for example: On PM8, the timely detection of a loose lock nut on a fan pump jack-shaft. On PM9, the detection of: damage to the under wire roll bearings in time to take preventive action; and, a deteriorating derive end bearing on the top wire box vacuum pump The Enwatch system, which can bring payback in 18 months, sits between manual systems and sophisticated continuous monitoring and protection systems.
