A machine in good operating condition generates a minimum noise level.
Any elevation of this level implies a possible degradation in the mechanical function.

MECASON essentially duplicates the technique of the mechanic, who uses a screwdriver in contact with the surface of the machine and the handle against his ear to listen to his machines.
With its specially designed sensors, MECASON listens to and quantifies continuously the noise emitted by the critical mechanical components, and signals any evolution well before failure can occur.
Better than simply detecting an approaching failure, the system generally permits you to begin maintenance activity early enough to avoid the failure altogether.

Experience shows that 90% of maintenance incidents concern the lubrication (oils levels, grease applications, lubricant contamination, etc...). In reacting rapidly to alarms, you ensure the proper functional environnement for your mechanical components and thereby prolong their useful lifetimes dramatically.
Designed to reduce costs to a minimum, MECASON is simple, reliable and easy to understand, even for beginners.
The results are :
  • longer useful machine lifetimes,
  • fewer pre-scheduled maintenance interventions,
  • less down-time,
  • overall reduction in production and maintenance costs.

  • centrifuge pumps,
  • vaccum pumps,
  • "roots" compressors,
  • conveyor belt rollers,
  • air cooling towers,
  • water powered turbines,
  • fans,
  • turbo-blowers for large combustion engines,
  • gears box,
  • screw type compressors,
  • pistons compressors,
  • etc...


In addition to classical applications, the modular units can offer in some cases a solution in production process control, such as :
  • detection of pump cavitaton,
  • detection of passage of fluids in pipes,
  • confirmation of valve closure,
  • regulation of paper pulp refining machinery,
  • etc...
