RUD conveyor technology - COCKPIT service

RUD COCKPIT - Measure, observe & improve your operations.

Connect your conveyors to the RUD COCKPIT and profit from our experiences. Analyze the availability of your conveyor.

Areas of application of the RUD COCKPIT service:
• Vertical Conveyors (e.g. bucket elevators)
• Horizontal Conveyors (e.g. scraper conveyors for de-ashing or other applications)

Focus:
• Analysation of critical operating conditions = transparency!
• Knowledge based consultancy for conveyors
• Fact based budget planning

Get information about:
1. Speed analysis / Operation hours
    (Provides information about the speed and the operating hours of the machine)
2. Chain life forecast based on RUD model
    (Collect relevant informations)
3. Supervision of chain fracture
    This sensor signalized if the tensioning shaft does not rotate)
4. Chain wear maesurment at on chain loop/ Chute elongation analysis
    (Collect information about the residual tensioning distance)
5. Chain travel analyses
    (Detect up climbing chain links)
6. Power analyses (hydraulic power only in a first step)
    (Collects information about the power consumtion of the machine)
7. Temperature sensor
    (Detects the temperature)
8. Overfilling of the discharge chute
    (Collect signals caused by overfilling of the machine)
9. SOI detects fix seated submerged idlers
    (These sensors signalized if the submerged idler do not rotate)

The RUD COCKPIT is able to:

• detect dangerous operating conditions (e.g. undue heat, over-filled chutes, unusual speeds, fixed seated idlers, tensioning distance consumed, etc.).
• Provides a prognostic of residual life time of the chain equipment (basic package 1) or provides a real time chain elongation in percentages (basic package 2).
• Supports predictive maintenance approaches and planning of services.
• Allows a conclusion why the lifetime of a chain equipment is reduced (due to various speeds, fixed seated idlers, etc.).
