Reliability, Up-Time and Safety Mining operation involves a variety of heavy rotating machinery that is used for exploration and processing of precious metals, minerals and material extracted from the earth. This industrial machinery is subjected to moderate, and in some cases, extreme vibration levels while in use. It's critical to trend these vibration levels to ensure equipment health / reliability and to avoid unscheduled catastrophic failures. IMI Sensors offers a full line of piezoelectric accelerometers, wireless solutions, transmitters, switches, enclosures, cable assemblies and...

Mining Equipment Monitoring & Protection Underground Mining Approved Sensors Mining is inherently a dangerous industry where the health and safety is of the utmost importance to the miners and their organizations. Thus, the mining industry has invested a great deal of time and money to develop safety procedures and training to assure the health of their miners. Within the United States, The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is dedicated to “Protecting Miners” by developing regulations that will assure the health and safety of the US miners. Organizations like MSHA are also found...

Sensors for Hazardous and Extreme Environments Hazardous Area Approved Sensors Mining equipment reliability monitoring now requires instrumentation that is approved for hazardous environments. In addition to underground mining approved sensors (MSHA), IMI has a full line of PdM sensors and related technologies, such as intrinsic safety barriers that, when used together, will meet CSA and ATEX IS approvals. Sensors below may also be available in Temperature Output versions (prefix “TO”). Route Based Hazardous Approved Accelerometers Precision ICP® Accelerometer Hazardous Area Approved...

Mining Equipment Monitoring & Protection High Temperature Environments Best in Class Temperature Response Up to 325 °F (162 °C) In harsh, caustic, or high temperature areas, IMI Sensors offers a series of industrial sensors and cable assemblies that will withstand these rigorous environments. Cables and connectors made of material such as PTFE and FKM are available for higher temperature and/or caustic mining environments. Industry exclusive, ICP® sensors are available with temperature ratings up to 325 °F(162 °C). For temperatures greater than 325 °F (162 °C), IMI has designed charge...

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...

Mining Equipment Monitoring & Protection Wireless Monitoring of Pumps in Tailings Ponds Barge 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 Cables From Mounted Sensors (connected to EchoPlus, enabling wireless transmission of...
