Case study “Ball Mill”

How an invisible oil failure nearly stopped a critical mill… and how real-time monitoring changed the outcome

Oil contamination was the hidden problem going unnoticed, compromising the reliability of the mill. Real-time monitoring made it possible to detect the issue in its early stages and understand how it evolved.

A change in filters triggered critical contamination that accelerated system deterioration. The data revealed a progressive increase in wear, ultimately anticipating equipment failure. This enabled the shutdown to be scheduled at the optimal time, reducing risks and minimizing the impact on production.
