Hanson Commissioning of WipWare’s Momentum 5 System

WipWare’s Chief Technical Specialist, Marty Wanner traveled to Hanson’s Base Point Quarry in Shell Cove, NSW Australia at the end of January to commission WipWare’s 3-camera Momentum 5 Online Conveyor Particle Size Analysis System. With the support and assistance of the Hanson team, the 3 camera system was successfully commissioned and real-time particle size telemetry can now be collected.

In this location, the installations were being performed outside. As a result, sunlight canopies were installed to prevent sunlight from penetrating the analysis field and affecting the results.

All three cameras were installed prior to the visit. Our technical specialist was able to proceed with confirming connectivity, calibration and commissioning of the three camera installations. Sample material was placed on the conveyor belt to verify camera focus.

WipWare’s VAR (Value Added Reseller) Glen Blackstock with Micron Scientific Australia Pty Ltd was on hand as well for the permanent installation of this system. After the permanent installation of the system, a WipFrag demonstration, which is the HMI (Human to machine interface) for the system, was done for Hanson personnel. During this demonstration, all aspects of the system were reviewed and the Hanson team were trained on the use of WipFrag.

The Momentum 5 system will be able to detect changes in material size and shape allowing automation and optimization efforts in real-time.
