WearSense™

Real-time online monitoring system to identify the ideal moment to replace wear liners

Optimizing the interval time between liner replacements results in fewer change outs, less downtime and reduced waste. This helps to reach your sustainability targets. WearSense™ is a wireless online wear monitoring system that can be fitted to any metallic or ceramic liner independent of the attachment system in use. It monitors wear in real time and tells you when to change liners.

Benefits

Up to 40% less embedded carbon

Using fewer liners means less transportation, raw material inputs and waste

Planet Positive

Less downtime

Provides real-time forecast of wear and expected liner change-out timing.

Reduced maintenance costs

No need to stop the equipment to perform wear plate inspections.

Improved safety

Reduces working time in confined spaces, hot environments or at heights.

Features

Sensors

Metso Outotec wireless wear sensors are simple to use and fully self-contained, with a battery lasting up to 5 years. They can be used with any ceramic or metallic liners and multiple installation options are available. The sensors have glass filled nylon housing for durability. We offer two different types of sensors:

The Taper-T™ sensor has minimal cross section area that enables it to be easily inserted through holes. It works directly with Taper-T™ attachments or can be used as a “stand alone” sensor
The Hugger™ sensor has a low profile to minimize surface projection

Receiver and gateway

The receiver communicates wirelessly with the sensors that can be located up to 300 meters away. Each receiver can support up to 100 sensors. The gateway collects the information from the receiver and sends it to the cloud. Multiple receiver units can be connected to a single gateway.

Interface

The easy-to-use interface gives you access to all the data you need about your liners’ wear performance. It also notifies you of potential issues and helps you predict when the liners need to be replaced.

The interface is accessible through a web app which makes it available from any computer or smart device with an internet connection. Features of the interface include:
