Stroke Detective

Realtime Monitoring of Screens and Feeders

Choking and bogging of screens and feeders can cause major interruption to production - but how do you know this is happening? Rugged environment conditions make it difficult to continuously carry out maintenance and production performance checks. The Stroke Detective solves these problems, detecting eccentric loading and deck twisting which cause structural fatigue and cracking. Easily in-stalled on your screen or feeder, the Stroke Detective is coupled via a mil-spec connector to any plant monitoring instrumentation or control systems, accepting a 4-20mA signal.

 

The Stroke Detective is a rugged, self-contained sensor for continuous, remote monitoring of screens and feeders, detecting:

  • stroke or displacement magnitude
  • stroke or displacement direction
  • over- or misloading of screens feeder rate
  • spring or hanger failure
  • delinquent vibration modes - rocking and twisting
