PROGNOST®-NT Wear Monitoring

Certain components of piston compressors are subject to high wear. Permanent monitoring can help to detect damage and trigger maintenance activities prior to machinery failure. The PROGNOST®-NT Wear Monitoring module is the reliable tool for your decision making.

The PROGNOST®-NT Wear Monitoring module provides continuous mechanical wear trend plots of critical components in reciprocating machinery.

The development from normal wear to threatening damage, becomes recognizable. The operator is advised of threshold violations, and therefore, wear-based damage becomes predictable and avoidable.

Knowledge about the condition of the wear parts allows the adoption of an efficient predictive maintenance strategy. Then, the scheduling of overhauls can be driven by actual component condition and not by operating hours or calendar days. As a result, the number of machine stops will decease as well as the number of replaced components because components can be operated over their full wear potential.

Your advantages

Quantified display of wear development
Accurate planning of maintenance activities is supported and eased
Decrease of machine stops and component replacements
Warning thresholds with violation alarms
