Obtaining the earliest indication of changes in machinery condition allows the correct actions to be taken to prevent unplanned downtime, catastrophic failure and loss of production. In the continuous drive to offer this technology to the widest audience, Kittiwake are proud to announce the world’s first ATEX Zone 1 approved Ex Wear Debris sensor, offering unparalleled sensor resolution to give the earliest indication of failure.

Parker Kittiwake are world leaders in the condition monitoring arena. With over 20 years experience developing products for in-service oil analysis, allowing large plant operators to accurately monitor their critical assets condition.

The hazardous area Metallic Wear Debris Sensor warns of abnormal bearing and gear wear at the earliest stage, in hazardous area applications.

The Parker Kittiwake Metallic Wear Debris Senor is fully compliant with ASTM D7917-14 - Standard practice for Inductive wear debris sensors in Gearbox and drive train applications.

In oil lubricated equipment, moving components produce microscopic metallic debris particles, which are carried to the filtration system by the lubricant.

By monitoring the number and sizes of those wear debris particles, abnormal wear can be identified immediately. Classifying and sizing of the individual metallic wear debris particles provides additional information as to the mechanism and severity of the wear and components affected. Particles are sorted into size bins for both ferrous and non-ferrous particles - allowing for fast, simple reporting and analysis.

Installed in the lubricant flow, the maintenance free, solid state sensor detects and measures the ferrous and non-ferrous metallic wear debris particles passing through it.

By monitoring wear debris continuously, abnormal wear can be seen at the earliest stage and action can be taken prior to significant damage occurring.
