MONITORING THE FUTURE

In an effort to continuously seek safety improvements for the grain industry, 4B Components announced the fully integrated, new and improved Watchdog Super Elite WDC4 for bucket elevators and belt conveyors. This enhanced hazard monitoring system processes signals from sensors for belt misalignment, belt speed and slip, continuous bearing temperature, pulley misalignment and plug conditions. The latest release, WDC4, offers easier setup and navigation menus driven by an LCD display with pre-programmed monitoring configurations, accessible at the unit or remotely by mobile connection.

Shutting down the facility, that receives 20-million bushel of corn a year, was not an option. Read how they increased capacity without pausing operations...
