DXTA

Innovating Roller Management

 Introduction
What does DXTA do?

Provides our clients with 24/7 Wireless Monitoring for conveyors

systems and associated equipment

How does it work?

Measures vibration caused by component deterioration

 Roller Failures
• Pulley
• Idlers
• Screens
 Current Detection Methods
Currently staff or contractors are limited on options of detection

Walking the conveyor system and plant to do visual and audible

inspections
 DXTA Sensor

Vibration transferred through frame to DXTA sensor

 Failure Consequences
• Ripped belt
• Excessive or accelerated belt cover wear
• Overloading the compensating adjacent rollers
• Damage to frames and structure
• Screen failure
• Tracking issues
• Belt fires

 Failure Consequences
Personnel exposed to harmful roller failures or failure outcomes

 Reporting Methods

Conveyor staff will generate a list of rollers required to be changed.

Typically the reports will generate a work order for the planning at next
shut down.
 DXTA Benefits

• Provide a 24/7 early warning (min 13 weeks) wireless monitoring system to cover
conveyors rollers and pulleys, pumps, drives and screens for the mining industry
• Develop an energy harvesting system to power the sensors and the collectors
• Idler rollers – measure the vibration of the roller as the bearing fails
• Pulleys – detect bearing failure in the bearing housing by measuring vibration, heat
and acoustics
• Pumps – detect bearing failure by measuring vibration and heat and possibly
acoustics
• Drives – detect bearing failure by measuring vibration, heat and acoustics
• Screens – detect when the holding bolts break by measuring vibrations
• Monitor the signal on our Dashboard, send SMS notifications and email alerts
• Develop algorithms to produce the early warning signals via a traffic light warning
signal
• Early warning of catastrophic failures (instant failure, instant alert or shut down)
