Mining and quarrying subjects sensors to the harshest conditions on earth — high-impact shocks, abrasive stone dust, water ingress, extreme temperatures, and electromagnetic interference from large electrical machinery. Sensors must carry IP68/IP69K ratings as a minimum and be specified from ranges designed for long-life in punishing conditions.
Pantron ISL-8000
Pantron ISL-8000 light barriers and Pantron safety photoeyes monitor belt edge position on overland ore conveyors, alerting plant control when belt tracking drifts before belt damage occurs.
EGE Inductive Proximity
EGE inductive proximity switches mounted on underground haulage equipment detect approach to berm walls and proximity to other machines, providing collision avoidance input.
EGE Ultrasonic Sensors
EGE ultrasonic sensors detect material buildup in crusher feed chutes, alerting operators before plugging causes production loss and unplanned strip-down.
Pantron ISG Series
Pantron ISG series amplifiers and Pantron photoelectric sensors detect skip and cage reference positions in mine shafts, providing position data to winder controls without mechanical encoders that jam in wet, dusty conditions.
EGE Flow Sensors
EGE flow sensors monitor seal water supply to slurry pump mechanical seals, triggering shutdown if seal water flow is interrupted to prevent catastrophic seal failures.
Contrinex Ex Devices
Contrinex ATEX Zone 1 rated devices provide sensing in underground mining areas classified as firedamp (methane) hazard zones.
EGE Flow Sensors
EGE flow sensors confirm water flow in dust suppression spray systems at crusher feed points and conveyor transfer stations, ensuring regulatory dust limits are maintained.
IP68-rated rugged inductive sensors for underground and surface mining equipment.
Ultrasonic chute blockage and level sensors for crusher and screen applications.
Seal water and process flow monitoring for slurry pumps and spray systems.
Long-range belt monitoring and large-format detection on overland conveyors.
ATEX Zone 1 inductive sensors for hazardous underground applications.
ATEX safety interlocking for mining equipment in classified hazardous areas.
