IMI Sensors - A PCB Piezotronics Division Mining Equipment Monitoring & Protection Sensors approved for hazardous locations, underground mining, corrosive and high temperature areas

Mines And Safety Mining is inherently a dangerous business and safety is of the utmost importance to mining companies and miners. Mining companies spend a great deal of time and money on training and safety procedures to help keep miners safe. In America, The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is tasked with “Protecting Miners’ Safety and Health” and has many regulations involving mine safety. Included in their directives are requirements for instrumentation used in mines having potentially explosive atmospheres. Other countries have similar requirements. IMI Sensors manufactures a...

Underground Mining Approved Sensors For underground mining where methane gas or coal dust present the possibility of an explosive atmosphere, IMI offers vibration sensors and related products that are Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) Approved Intrinsically Safe and ATEX Approved Intrinsically Safe for Mining. Mine Safety & Health Administration MSHA Approved Precision ICP® Accelerometer ■ 15 kHz high frequency response ■ Ideal for route-based data collection ■ MSHA compliant limits for sensor power, temperature and sea ■ Certified to MSHA Designation: ATEX Mining Approved Precision...

Sensors for Hazardous and Extreme Environments Hazardous Area Approved Sensors Due to the dangerous nature of the mining operation and the process of extracting metals and minerals from the ground, the world has adopted very strict regulations to moderate the negative impacts of mining. Worker safety has long been a key concern, while mining equipment monitoring now requires instrumentation that is approved for hazardous areas. Hazardous Area Approved Low Cost ICP® Accelerometer Hazardous Area Approved Low Cost ICP® Accelerometer Easy installation in tight spaces General purpose, hermetically...

Mining Equipment Monitoring & Protection Corrosive and High Temperature Environments In harsh, caustic, or high temperature areas, IMI provides sensors and cables that meet these demands as well. Cables and connectors made of materials such as PTFE and FKM are available for higher temperature applications and caustic environments. ICP® Sensors are available with temperature ratings up to 325° F (162° C). For higher temperatures up to 900° F (482° C), IMI offers charge output sensors with inline electronics and appropriate cables, including very high temperature hardline cables. High Temperature...

Wireless Vibration Wireless Sensors for Dangerous Areas Why have people risk injury and venture into unsafe areas to collect vibration data on healthy machines? IMI Sensors offers the Echo® Wireless Vibration Monitoring System that can automatically collect machinery health data in dangerous areas without having a miner venture into those areas. Using this alarm based system, personal intervention is only required when the system identifies a problem. Vibration Monitoring System Easily integrates with legacy vibration and plant monitoring systems via Modbus® Eliminates expensive cable runs Transmits...

Mining Equipment Monitoring & Protection Wireless Monitoring of Pumps in Tailings Ponds Pumps in tailings ponds are critical to the operation of a mine. These ponds can be very acidic and dangerous, as well as inaccessible, which is why most plants don’t monitor them. Because it takes a host of people, safety gear, and a lot of time to get a crew safely to the pump to make measurements, the Echo® Wireless Vibration Monitoring System can be used to safely collect machinery health data. Echo® Receiver Motor Cables From Mounted Sensors (connected to EchoPlus, enabling wireless transmission of vibration...

Industrial Hygiene Worker Safety Products Mines can be a very noisy environment and employers have a responsibility to protect workers from noise induced hearing damage. To help access the noise exposure risk and verify the effectiveness of a hearing protection program, Larson Davis offer a line of noise dosimeters, sound level meters, and software to measure noise exposure. Because exposure to vibration has also been shown to be a health risk, we offer the HVM100 with all the necessary sensors to measure human exposure to vibration. Intrinsically Safe Noise Dosimeters Model 706RC, Model 705+,...
