OVERALL EQUIPMENT EFFECTIVENESS Kruse Controls has expanded its KrusePlant-Info to include the increasingly popular OEE (overall equipment effective- ness), which gives a real-time and historic view of complete plant throughput with quality. OEE is a hierarchy of metrics that focus on how effectively a manufacturing operation is utilized. It quantifies how well a manufacturing unit performs relative to its designed capacity during the periods it is scheduled to run. Three metrics make up OEE — Availability, which accounts for downtime losses as a function of the total planned operating time; Performance, which captures speed and micro-stop losses; and Quality, which quantifies the losses from quality rejects.

EXTRACTS SAMPLES FROM MOVING CONVEYOR BELTS McLanahan says its HSS Quarry-Duty Cross Belt Sweep Sampler is designed to extract samples rang- ing in size from 12 inches down to 200 mesh particles from moving conveyor belts. The sampler incorporates a belt contouring system known as an HSS Cut Zone System, which consists of one multi-segment impact cradle with height adjustment for direct support beneath the sample cutter and two multi-segment roller cradles with height adjustment positioned directly outside the inbound and outbound sides of the sampler housing. This belt contouring system is said to provide precision sampling by contour- ing the conveyor belt to the same radius as the sample cutter bucket. Each sampler is custom designed.
