CASE STUDY | Wear Monitoring of Iron Ore Crusher Hoppers
Ionix HotSense was used to provide frequent, high-quality wall thickness trends, ensuring the customer knows the hopper’s condition and remaining life. Wall loss trends help predict and schedule maintenance, reducing outages and maximizing production. Changes in wall loss rates can adjust maintenance frequency as needed. The system is installed outside the hopper, increasing safety by reducing personnel exposure to hazards like working from heights and rope access.
