Gearbox Condition Monitoring System

Protect Your Extruder by Installing a Condition Monitoring System

Fitting a condition monitoring system to a Baker Perkins extruder allows owners to easily observe their gearbox’s condition, avoiding the costs of unexpected downtime and improving maintenance scheduling.

A simple, low cost retrofit system allows the frequency and amplitude of vibrations within the gearbox to be continuously monitored to determine the ongoing condition of vital components.

Easy to Self-Monitor

Pre-calibrated for Baker Perkins gearboxes, the system filters unwanted frequencies and consolidates information into a simple traffic light system that highlights when the extruder is running within recommended limits and when attention may be required.

The system retains 3 years’ worth of data that Baker Perkins’ technicians can access on subsequent visits for trend analysis, enabling the creation of an ongoing preventative maintenance schedule.
