Metal detector prevents engine failures
The Amot Controls MPD metal detector signals the presence of metal particles, chips or dust in lubricating fluids due to bearing wear or other engine part problems
The Amot Controls MPD metal detector signals the presence of metal particles, chips or dust in lubricating fluids due to bearing wear or other engine part problems and thereby prevents catastrophic failures, avoids unnecessary costly repairs and minimises downtime This compact and lightweight but highly robust unit has a corrosion-resistant anodised aluminium body and no moving parts, and only requires minimal maintenance

Metal detector is type approved
The Amot MPD metal detector, which prevents engine failures by spotting metal particles in lubricating fluids due to bearing wear or other problems, has received a DNV Type Approval certificate.
Its 'unique' grid sensing technology detects all conductive materials, including non-metallic particles, in non-conductive fluid lubrication systems.
It is a simple and straightforward device easily installed in a side stream of the lube oil/fluid on reciprocating equipment such as gas or diesel engines and reciprocating or rotating compressors, pumps, turbines, transmissions and gearboxes.
Used either with Amot's MPD controller or an appropriate alternative controller, it converts maintenance into a continuously predictive rather than reactive process.
Temperature rating is -29 to +148C and up to 13.8bar as standard.
Electrical rating is 3.5VA 24V ac or dc.
A stainless steel version is also available for use in hazardous locations. Request a free brochure from AMOT ...
