Give yourself a competitive edge - add ultrasonic detection to your predictive maintenance.

One of the great challenges to be faced by every company in today’s global marketplace is to improve its competitive position. As the operating condition and therefore the performance of a production unit are directly linked to the effectiveness of its maintenance, an effective predictive maintenance programme will significantly contribute to improving competitiveness by controlling costs.

If your aim is to achieve optimum performance from your machinery by avoiding unplanned production stops and disruptions, then the SDT170 ultrasonic detector is an essential multifunctional tool for your programme. It can be used by anybody, for numerous applications and with unquestionable reliability.

- Detect leak in pneumatics, steam, vacuum, gaseous fluid networks etc. Compressed air leaks represent most often 30 – 40 % of the air produced.

- Warn of impending failures, defects, and wear and tear in mechanical assemblies such as bearings suppliers, gearboxes, etc. Measurements are recorded and monitored.

- Develop an on-condition lubrication strategy for bearings to reduce over-lubrication and grease consumption at the same time.

- Inspect steam traps, cocks, pumps and hydraulic equipment to identify leaks and blockages.

- Detect pump cavitations.

- Inspect high voltage and medium voltage transmission and control equipment.

It is not without reason that the SDT 170 ultrasonic detector was the star of the recent international EuroMaintenance Conference & Exhibition in Brussels. The SDT 170 is regarded as the professional diagnostic tool par excellence for predictive maintenance.
