Authentic Sweco Instrumentation

SentryScan™ Performance Monitoring System

Using patented microwave technology, Sweco SentryScan continuously monitors
separator screens for breaks, holes or tears in the wire mesh. Early detection by
SentryScan makes possible timely corrective action that can help prevent
production of off-spec product, contamination of downstream equipment, costly
material reprocessing or even product recalls.

Motion Analysis System

Fine tune your separator motion to increase capacity, increase efficiency and
reduce blinding. Sweco’s Motion Analysis System perfects the motion of your
Sweco Separator – and lets you apply it to every machine in the plant. Reproduce
that optimum motion at other plant locations, too. Use our integrated
instrumentation package to turn your Windows PC or laptop into an easy-to-use,
multi-axis dynamic motion analyzer. Or, call one of our field techs to visit your plant
for full diagnostic and optimization service on all your Sweco Separators.

Vibration Sensor
Stop unexpected – and undetected – separator shutdowns and prevent costly
reprocessing. Sweco’s Vibration Sensor constantly monitors the motion of your
Sweco Separator and triggers an alarm if it stops functioning due to motion
generator failure. In some cases, it can alert you of feed rate upsets, erratic product
discharge, broken springs or loose anchor bolts and clamp bands. Add the
Vibration Sensor’s Display Unit for local digital readout of separator G-force.
Operators can program two alarm set points, each with a relay contact output.

Bearing Temperature Sensor

Significant increases in bearing temperature can indicate impending failure.
Sweco’s Bearing Temperature Sensor enables operators to continually monitor the
upper bearing temperature in Sweco motion generators – preventing unexpected
failures, material backups, downtime and emergency maintenance.
