Optimise the maintenance on your blower and fan

 

Monitoring a fan or blower with IMAnalytics is essential for ensuring optimal performance and uptime. The soulution provides real-time data analysis, enabling early detection of potential issues before they develop into major problems.

By tracking key parameters such as vibration, temperature, and operational hours, IMAnalytics helps in identifying wear and tear, need of cleaning, any imbalances or need of lubrication.

This proactive approach not only prevents unexpected breakdowns but also optimises maintenance schedules, saving time and resources. With IMAnalytics, we help you optimise the reliability of your fans and blowers.

 

Based on the monitored metrics, we can detect:
  • Bearing failures​
  • Mechanical​ imbalances, misalignment and looseness​
  • Blade pass frequencies​
  • Debris build up / gradual fouling​
  • Blade damage​
  • Temperature changes​
  • Performance decrease​
  • Changes in power consumption​
  • Running times, optimisation of asset use
Examples of monitored metrics in a Fan or Blower​:
  • Vibration​
  • RPM​
  • Temperature(s)​
  • Pressure / flow​
  • Peak current​
  • Activity reporting (running times & periods)​
  • Humidity

 

 

Keep your blower and fan running

Fans and blowers are essential in various industrial processes, crucial for managing temperature, humidity, and removing dust and dangerous gases.

Fans and blowers are frequently seen as low-value equipment due to their relatively lower cost. This might create a misconception that it’s more economical to replace rather than maintain equipment.

A failed fan or blower can halt production lines, affecting multiple processes until repair or replacement. in addition, they serve to regulate the temperature of crucial parts such as motors and drives, effectively extending the lifespan of more expensive equipment.

 

Bearings in these fans and blowers work under high speeds and light radial loads, often in extreme temperatures or hard-to-reach places. Dust and grit in the airflow can accumulate on the impeller, causing imbalance in the fan, underlining the need for condition-based maintenance.
