Haver & Boecker Niagara will showcase its Pulse vibration analysis (VA) software at MINExpo International, exhibiting Sept. 13-15 in Central Hall (Booth 7301) of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

According to Haver & Boecker Niagara, Pulse VA software gives mining and aggregate operations insight about equipment performance. The Pulse VA program is specifically designed to examine the health of a vibrating screen to ensure optimum screening performance and equipment reliability, the company says. Pulse VA detects irregularities that could translate into diminished performance, decreased efficiency, increased operating costs and imminent breakdown.

“We understand screening equipment is a significant portion of an operation’s budget, which is why we developed Pulse VA,” says Karen Thompson, president of Haver & Boecker Niagara’s North American and Australian operations. “Pulse VA offers operations the tools to optimize screening efficiency on a daily basis. This helps increase their operation’s profitability by minimizing downtime, as well as maintenance costs.”

The Pulse VA system, which is designed to be easy to operate with components specifically chosen and engineered for harsh environments, uses an industrial-grade tablet computer that connects wirelessly with eight tri-axial sensors. The sensors attach to key places on the equipment and send up to 24 channels of data to the tablet, displaying a real-time view of the machine’s orbit, acceleration, deviations and more.

All of the information from the sensors is electronically stored in a database for an accessible historical overview of the machine. The information can be downloaded online in two report formats, Haver & Boecker Niagara says.

Additionally, Haver & Boecker Niagara offers a Pulse VA service program to help customers achieve production targets, minimize unscheduled downtime and demonstrate sustainable improvements through online asset management. The service program includes a vibrating screen inspection by a Haver & Boecker Niagara certified service technician. Following the inspection, customers receive a Pulse diagnostic report that provides an analysis of their vibrating screen and detailed recommendations to prevent downtime.
