MetalSCAN
MetalSCAN is the leading sensor product available today for on-line detection and quantification of metallic debris in lubricating oil systems. MetalSCAN's advanced in-line, full-flow technology detects both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic metal particles and provides a reliable, early indication of impending failure.
MetalSCAN's reliability lies in its simple, maintenance free design. The sensing element uses non-obtrusive magnetic coils, which surround the oil line and detect the passage of metallic debris. All of the particles above a minimum size threshold are detected and counted. Unlike conventional chip detection systems, MetalSCAN requires no cleaning and does not suffer from false alarms caused by the build-up of metallic wear "fuzz" or single large particles.
With thousands of installations worldwide on equipment ranging from advanced jet engines to industrial gearboxes, MetalSCAN has proven its effectiveness, meaning expensive failures can be avoided and maintenance personnel can plan repairs during convenient and cost-effective periods.
