How can you control a crusher remotely?

08 May 2019 CW Team

New-age crushers that integrate with supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) can be controlled remotely. “Syncing a SCADA-compatible crusher with a laptop (or a mobile) is immensely useful because it allows data to be processed in real time and log sheets to be prepared remotely,” says Onkar Sapre, Country Head, Sales & Marketing, Taurian Engineering.

“The future of manufacturing is IoT [Internet of Things] and data analytics is an integral part of it,” says Subhasis Das, Vice-President, Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology, India. Sandvik’s newly launched CH800i i-intelligent series connected cone crusher is a step in that direction. These high-capacity ‘SMART’ cone crushers meet customers’ need for higher size secondary crushing, tertiary crushing and pebble crushing applications in mines or large-sized quarries. They are automated, safe, easy and quick to maintain and connected via the My Sandvik (digital service solutions) portal. So, users get 24/7 access to data generated by the connected Sandvik crusher fleet for better decision-making and monitoring.
