Fluidcontrol
Metal residue monitor in lubricating
and hydraulic oils
Iron particles in particular are undesired parameters in
hydraulic and lubricating systems and can cause considerable
system damage, particularly to the gearbox area.
The Bühler BMD-100 metal detector was designed specifically to
monitor ferrous particles in oil. Continuously monitoring the
fluid for ferritic particles allows extending the oil change
intervals, thus considerably reduce maintenance costs. This
makes the Bühler BMD-100 metal detector an essential part of
your condition monitoring system.
The BMD-100 is a mart sensor and based on the inductive
measuring system to properly sort the ferritic particles in the
respective fluid. It can distinguish between fine and coarse
ferromagnetic particles. It has analog and digital output
signals.
The BMD-100 features an automatic cleaning process.
