“VertiSense^TM complements the series well and gives Vertimill^® stirred mill users a tool to maximize operational efficiency through intuitive software and analytics. What VertiSense^TM does in practice is to ensure that wear parts are being replaced at the best time, thereby reducing waste and optimizing mill availability,” explains Rodrigo Rizzoli, Vice President, Stirred Mills & HPGR Services at Metso. The VertiSense^TM is easy to install, maintain and use. It monitors liner wear rate and provides frequent reporting on the screw liners to assist plant maintenance personnel. Its wear measurement functionality facilitates the prediction of service life and spare stock planning. Like the rest of the Sense series products, VertiSense^TM is suited for both new and existing operations.
