PROTECT YOUR CRITICAL ASSETS

CRUSHERS

PROTECT CRUSHERS FROM CATASTROPHIC FAILURE
Catch imbalance, bearing wear, or motor faults in crushers before they cause unplanned downtime and expensive damage.

KILNS

EXTEND KILN PERFORMANCE & RELIABILITY
Gain early warnings of misalignment or component degradation to avoid expensive production losses and unexpected maintenance.

CONVEYORS

KEEP MATERIAL FLOW MOVING
Monitor belt wear, misalignment, and drive issues to prevent stoppages in your handling systems.

GRINDERS & MILLS

REDUCE DOWNTIME IN MILL OPERATIONS
Identify imbalance or bearing wear early in ball mills and grinders to prevent scrap and maintain consistent throughput.

AIR SYSTEMS

MAINTAIN RELIABLE AIR PRESSURE
Monitor compressors and blowers that keep dust systems, combustion, and plant air running smoothly.

GEARBOXES & DRIVES

PROTECT DRIVE SYSTEMS FROM DAMAGE
Spot lubrication breakdowns and vibration anomalies before they escalate into gearbox or motor failure.

MIXERS & BLENDERS

ENSURE CONSISTENT MIXING PERFORMANCE
Identify vibration and torque issues to avoid scrap and maintain quality.

From an ROI standpoint, installing the Waites system was one of the easiest decisions we’ve made. It’s a small investment compared to the $11 million we saved.
