Vibration sensor helps to reduce downtime
November 1st 2005

Chlor-alkali producer, INEOS Chlor relies on Monitran's MTN/410 Defender vibration sensor to help it reduce equipment downtime and improve efficiency.

The company knew that a build up of solids in its process plant extraction fans could seriously inhibit production and so opted for a systematic approach to cleaning, based on fan performance and vibration levels.

The responsibility for collecting fan data falls to the MTN/410 Defender sensor, a self-contained, battery-powered unit that provides condition monitoring for rotating machinery. With integrated LCD for immediate feedback, the compact unit is of robust construction and is described as extremely accurate.

Since debris can accumulate quickly, readings are taken twice during a shift. A sharp tap is all that is needed to turn on the Defender; the display reverts to sleep mode after 1min.
