Coal Washery Industrial Routers: Providing Dust-Resistant, High-Reliability Connectivity for the Coal Preparation Process
In coal washeries, coal dust coats every surface, coal slurry creates high humidity, and crushers and conveyors generate intense vibration. Critical equipment (jigs, filter presses, and flotation cells) rely on real-time data to ensure coal quality. Reliable network connectivity is more than just a tool; it's essential for ensuring consistent product grades, minimizing equipment downtime, and ensuring safe operation. Traditional commercial routers fall short in this regard: they clog with coal dust, short-circuit in humid environments, or lose signal when connecting dozens of sensors, leading to costly process interruptions, substandard coal production, and high-risk on-site maintenance in harsh conditions.
Our coal washery industrial routers are designed to meet your unique challenges. Designed for use in the dirtiest, wettest, and most vibrating coal preparation environments, they provide uninterrupted data transmission, industrial-grade durability, and remote manageability, ensuring your coal washing line operates efficiently and reliably 24/7. Core Advantages: Tailored for Coal Washing Applications
1. Suitable for the Extreme Environments of Coal Washing
Ultra-High Dust and Water Resistance: IP67 dust and water resistance (higher than standard industrial routers) and anti-coal slime coating on internal components prevent clogging by coal dust (common in raw coal crushing areas) and corrosion by coal slime water (common in flotation/filtration plants).
Wide Temperature Adaptability: Operates flawlessly in temperatures ranging from -30°C to 75°C (-22°F to 167°F), making it suitable for hot crusher motor areas and cold outdoor coal storage areas.
Vibration and Shock Resistance: Compliant with IEC 60068-2-6 (vibration, up to 50Hz) and IEC 60068-2-27 (shock, peak value 500G) standards – maintaining stable performance even near wobbling conveyor belts or heavy jigs. Stable Power Input: 12-48V DC wide voltage support – compatible with the plant's 24V industrial power system (no additional voltage regulator required, ensuring operation even with voltage fluctuations on heavy machinery).
2. Reliable Connection for Real-Time Coal Washing Control
Low Latency for Precise Sorting: Utilizing an industrial-grade MediaTek chip, latency is less than 25 milliseconds – critical for real-time adjustment of jig water levels, flotation reagent dosage, and filter press pressure (ensuring coal ash content remains within target levels and reducing rewashing rates by 35%).
Dual Network Redundancy: Gigabit Ethernet (for fixed devices like PLCs/HMIs) + 4G LTE/5G (for remote sensors/conveyors) – automatically switches to cellular backup within 0.3 seconds in the event of a wired network outage (critical for remote mining plants with unreliable broadband). High device concurrency: Supports 400+ concurrent connections—connecting all sensors (coal flow, ash content, water level), control devices (crusher PLC, conveyor speed controller), and quality inspection cameras without signal congestion.
3. Seamless Compatibility with Coal Washing Equipment
Industrial Protocol Support: Native integration of PROFINET, Modbus TCP, and EtherNet/IP—compatible with your existing Siemens (for jig control), Schneider (for flotation systems), or ABB (for conveyor drives) equipment (no expensive protocol converters or system overhauls required).
Plug-and-Play Coal Production Process: Pre-configured coal washing-specific profiles (e.g., jig data transmission, coal slurry tank level monitoring)—set up in 20 minutes (compared to over 5 hours with conventional routers), getting your coal washing line up and running quickly. Wireless Coverage for Large Power Plants: High-gain 5dBi antennas + mesh network support – Covers large coal washing areas (up to 8,000 square meters) and connects remote areas such as outdoor coal piles or auxiliary water treatment plants (no blind spots for sensor data).
4. Remote Management and Security in Harsh Areas
Cloud-Based Operations and Maintenance Platform: MQTT/SNMP-enabled system – Remotely configure, monitor, and troubleshoot router issues (e.g., resetting dust-affected connections) from the office, eliminating the need to dispatch personnel to dusty/corrosive areas (reducing on-site maintenance costs by 70% and mitigating safety risks).
Proactive Alerts for Critical Issues: SMS/email notifications for network outages, sensor disconnections, or abnormal delays – Immediately alert you if a conveyor belt connection is lost (preventing coal buildup) or a flotation tank sensor malfunctions (avoiding substandard coal).
Multi-Layered Security: Built-in industrial firewall + VPN encryption (IPsec/L2TP) – Protects sensitive data such as coal washing recipes, quality inspection results, and production output from unauthorized access. 5. Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Long Lifespan: Average 6-year durability (3x longer than commercial routers) minimizes replacement frequency (critical for plants where router replacement requires shutting down portions of the coal washing line).
Energy Efficiency: Low 10W power consumption design allows for 24/7 operation, saving electricity (the savings are even more significant for plants with more than 20 routers across multiple workshops).
