Techna-Guard - Model CT and S -Protect and Optimize Machinery
The Techna-Guard product line is designed to protect and optimize machinery and processes driven by three-phase AC motors. Techna-Guard protects machinery by monitoring power consumption of the motor while providing valuable information on load and performance. Techna-Guard works on any size motor and can monitor variable frequency drives.
Market leading protection for pumps, mixers, conveyors, indexing, grinders and pulverizers, cranes, hoists, fans, clarifiers, mechanical transmission systems, electric shear pins, etc.
- Protect against dry running and overload, blocking, jamming, cavitation
- Monitor pump or fan flow
- Evaluate viscosity changes
- Alerts of loss of load, process breakage, bad bearings, shock load or mechanical failure
- Control optimum feed rate
Why Monitor Power (Horsepower or Watts) instead of Current (Amps)?
Power is linear, a change in motor load is a change in power, giving you the information needed for controlling equipment and processes. Measuring current (amps) at low loads is inaccurate because current is non-linear.
