WEAR MONITORING SYSTEM

摘要

A method of monitoring wear of liner plates provided in a material transport system. The method includes having a processing system receive measurement data representing the thickness of a plurality of selected liner plates distributed in defined wear zones. The processing system uses the measurement data to determine a thickness change for a liner plate in each wear zone and then uses this, together with a material amount indicative of the amount of material transported by the transport system to determine a wear rate. The wear rate can then be used to determine a wear zone replacement date indicative of when the liner plates in each wear zone should be replaced.
