Dust Monitor Applications in Steel Industry

Problems at the site

There are many places where require dust collectors as environmental countermeasures because the production process of steel industry is harsh and generating a lot of dust.

However, despite those countermeasures, it sometimes causes dust leakage due to facility deterioration or inadequate maintenance of machineries and then it causes huge loss in time and cost to recover the facility.

Generally filtered clean air comes in the secondary piping side, however, leaked dust may come there in case filter bag is deteriorated.

This situation may get damaged the blower and bring the risk of overload at the motor as well as leading to environment pollution or claim from local residents.

In the worst case, such filter bag breakage leads to facility shutdown.

Solved by the Dust Monitor

Recently it is recognized that predictive maintenance by continuous monitoring of dust amount is effective to take countermeasure before it causes serious dust leakage.

PFM Series Matsushima Measure Tech Dust Monitor provides such 24 hours continuous monitoring of dust concentration and contributes to predictive maintenance.

Please refer to the following successful references.

Economic benefits achieved by the technology

Realize predictive maintenance by continuous monitoring 24 hours a day instead of a human. Reduce maintenance work load.

Maintenance costs are saved since filter can be used up to the end.

No periodical replacement (filter bag) required.

Energy saving effect expected in case dust collector is controlled according to dust concentration.
