  • Travelling grate condition monitoring
    Patent number: 12475550
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring the condition of a travelling grate machine including univocally identifying each pallet car; collecting a plurality of condition indicating parameters for the wheels, the grate bars, the car body and/or the side walls of the pellet car; attributing the collected condition indicating parameters to an individual pallet car; storing the collected condition indicating parameters for each pallet car in a database; evaluating the condition of the travelling grate machine; comparing the different condition indicating parameters collected by the different sensor means of each pallet car to reference parameters and/or to previously collected condition indicating parameters of that same pallet car; identifying the faults in each pallet car based on this comparison; classifying each pallet car according to its need of maintenance based on the severity of different identified faults; and determining the pallet car in most need of maintenance based on this classification.
