Cement Industry
For use in kiln drives, crushers, screens, conveyor belts, raw mills, elevators, separators and blowers
Specifying a Vibration Sensor
Cement manufacturing is one of the most demanding industrial environments, with high concentrations of dust, extremes of temperature and severe mechanical stresses on operating equipment. In particular, the commonly produced Portland cement causes contamination at all stages of production, from the procurement and milling of raw materials to final packing and loading.
This tough operating environment means that techniques such as condition monitoring and predictive maintenance are especially important, with vibration monitoring being a key tool used by process, plant and maintenance engineers.
At Hansford Sensors we manufacture a full range of vibration sensors to help your business meet the challenges of monitoring and maintaining a wide range of machines used in all types of cement production systems.
Typical solutions for the Metals Industry
Real Time Monitoring
Our tough and reliable AC sensors (HS-100 Series) can be used with local switch or connection boxes (HS-SE), to allow data to be collected via handheld devices.
High Sensitivity & Intrinsically Safe
For low speed applications, with slowly rotating machinery, we offer the option of our specially modified low frequency response accelerometer (HS-100F Series), or a higher sensitivity option of our AC range of sensors.
Monitoring Imbalance
Our 4-20mA accelerometers (HS-420 Series) are designed to be permanently connected to PLCs (programmable logic controllers) for continuous data logging and real time trend analysis.
Monitoring Imbalance

Extra Options
We offer advanced systems for monitoring velocity and bearing conditions. These combine AC sensors connected via a vibration module (HS-500 Series) for optimum machine protection. Data readings can be displayed and alarmed both locally and connected back to a PLC for higher level system integration.
