Can DHMSCare monitor long conveyors, crushers, mills and slurry pumps?
Yes. DHMSCare already monitors belt conveyors, crushers, vibrating screens, hoists, compressors and pumps at coal mines and preparation plants, and it also covers ball mills. A preparation plant is where mined coal is washed and sorted.
Why mining machines need watching
In a mine, one stopped conveyor or crusher can halt the whole flow of material. The machines are large and often far from the workshop, so every repair takes planning.
Many of these machines run in dust and remote places where manual rounds are infrequent. A fault can keep growing unseen between two visits.
How DHMSCare covers the main machine types
Sensors on the motor, gearbox and drive bearings of each machine measure vibration and temperature. Each point gets its own learned reference, so a growing change stands out.
Vibrating screens bring their own faults, such as exciter faults, spring fatigue and structural resonance, where the structure shakes strongly at one speed. Pumps are monitored through their motor and pump bearings.
What to expect on site
Surface plants and preparation plants use the standard wireless sensors and gateways. Where a site has no plant network, the DMG311 gateway sends data through the 4G mobile network.
Underground installations in coal mines use intrinsically safe sensors and terminals with mining certification, sized on site. Across real deployments, DHMSCare alerts prove accurate 90%+ of the time.
Next step
Across long, thinly staffed mines, DHMSCare covers the whole line with a wireless sensor and gateway network, and Mina concludes on each machine, so inspection plans no longer depend on walking the rounds.
See the measuring points for mines on our mining industry page, pick sensor models from the products page, or read a coal preparation plant case.
Questions buyers also ask
Can DHMSCare watch the slow pulleys of a long conveyor?
Slow pulleys need the right sensor and setup. Send us the pulley shaft speed, and we check the sensor choice before you order.
Do slurry pumps need a special sensor?
They are monitored like other pumps, through the motor and pump bearings. Tell us the pump type and duty, and we confirm the measuring points before you order.
Can it work at a remote site with no network?
Yes. The DMG311 gateway connects by 4G or Ethernet, so a site without plant Wi-Fi can still send sensor data to the platform.
