ImpactFinder®: Efficient Mill Monitoring

Service delivered by Digital Solutions

Seeks a balanced operation, an optimal point between throughput tonnage, fill level, RPMs, and critical and standard impacts. Integration with the plant control philosophy and online optimization is a powerful option of our solution.

Cost reduction through fewer unplanned events for repair or part replacement.

Asset protection: by anticipating unexpected impacts that can accelerate wear or even break the liners.

Benefits

Sound Level

Shows the trend of sound levels (dB), which serves as an indicator of changes in the mill filling level

Filling Level

Measurement of the internal filling percentage relative to the total mill volume

Impact

Classifies impacts based on their intensity, providing instant and statistical data on standard levels and critical impacts, helping to protect liners and optimize grinding

Load and Cascade Angles

Allows determination of the exact point where the ore waterfall collides, as well as the angle of the load arrangement

Features

The ImpactFinder® solution offers a comprehensive approach to condition monitoring in SAG mills, providing remote assistance and on-site technical support through a team of specialized engineers. With a planned maintenance schedule and equipment availability, efficient and reliable operation is ensured. This solution delivers a rapid response to potential operational failures, thereby optimizing the performance and productivity of industrial processes.

Features
Operation

Operation

ImpactFinder® uses two industrial microphones, one on the feed end side, where impacts are counted and classified, and another on the shoulder side, which estimates the fill level. Both signals are connected to the IF electronics for signal processing and sent to the DCS via industrial communication Ethernet/IP, Profibus DP, Modbus TCP, etc. The IF electronics is also connected via Ethernet/IP to the computer with the system’s proprietary Advanced Visualization HMI.
