Fewer unplanned stops and higher availability is behind LD & D's, leading dairy producer in Australia, decision to install VIKONs MIVA Master

The plant in Morewell that processes everything from milk to butter and cheese aims to increase production by raising an already high availability through condition monitoring of rotating machinery.

As a first step, LD & D chosen to monitor a milk separator of type C40 from Alfa Laval. The machine is mission critical as it is running 24/7 during the peak season and an unplanned stop will cause significant production losses.

The system distinguishes itself as time-saving and does not require expertise in vibration analysis since it has automatic fault detection and the machine status is displayed in clear text. Another benefit is that data collected by VIKON´s portable data collector MIVA 5100 can be downloaded to and analysed by the MIVA Master software.

The system was delivered in June and will be commissioned during September.
