Sand mining: detection of hidden problems, thereby preventing further damage on a D11

The scenario

TRUST ITM® technology helps in discovering hidden problems, saving costly repairs and preventing downtime. 

A success story from a sand mine on a D11. 

What we did

A D11 equipped with TRUST ITM® rollers experienced a bogie pin problem, causing the misalignment of two rollers and an increase in temperature. The managing director was immediately notified about the roller overheating, receiving an alert 2 minutes after the detection. 

“Without TRUST ITM® and its notification system, we would have had to replace the bogie and two rollers. Instead, we fixed the bogie pin the day after, avoiding costly repairs and unnecessary machine downtime”. 

Managing Director 

What we achieved

The roller misalignment was caused by a bogie pin problem on the internal side of the machine, and therefore it would have been hard to detect it without sensors. With the TRUST ITM® system, the customer avoided the need to replace multiple components.
