ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS® Wireless Triaxial Accelerometers on a Food & Beverage Filling Machine

In food and beverage production facilities, every unplanned equipment shutdown can have significant consequences: production interruptions, product waste, delivery delays, and increased maintenance costs.

For this reason, continuous vibration monitoring has become a strategic tool for protecting critical assets and ensuring uninterrupted production.

The images below show a real-world installation of ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS® wireless triaxial accelerometers on a filling machine in the Food & Beverage industry—an application where reliability and precision are essential.

Why Monitor a Filling Machine?

A filling machine consists of numerous moving mechanical components, including motors, gearboxes, bearings, shafts, and power transmission systems.

The development of conditions such as:

• Bearing wear
• Shaft misalignment
• Rotor imbalance
• Mechanical looseness
• Lubrication issues

can compromise machine performance and ultimately lead to unexpected downtime.

With vibration monitoring, these developing faults can be detected in their early stages, allowing maintenance to be planned before minor issues become costly failures.

The Advantages of Wireless Monitoring

The ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS® wireless triaxial accelerometer captures vibration data in all three axes, providing a comprehensive view of machine health.

Because the system is completely wireless, installation is fast and straightforward—even on existing equipment—reducing both implementation time and installation costs.

Continuous monitoring also helps organizations:

• Detect mechanical faults early
• Reduce unplanned downtime
• Optimize maintenance activities
• Improve equipment reliability
• Protect production continuity

Protect Your Production

In the Food & Beverage industry, predictive maintenance is more than a technological upgrade—it’s an investment in quality, operational efficiency, and production reliability.

By leveraging vibration analysis, maintenance teams can make informed, data-driven decisions, performing maintenance only when it’s needed while minimizing the risk of unexpected equipment failures.
