Conveyor belts need monitoring
Production critical, long and hazardous conveyors need continuous monitoring. Critical belt failure can cause unscheduled production stoppage and substantial repair work. In addition, belt failures can be serious safety risks.
Monitoring of the belt surface is crucial:
• Belt damages are always visible in the belt surface
• Surfaces are the most vulnerable parts
• Surface faults exposes the supporting structures to wear, corrosion and fragility
The Belt Condition Monitoring System monitors the belt by using Material and Clean Side Measurement modules. The system is controlled from the control room.
Advantages of our solution:
• Both surfaces of the belt are continuously monitored, which enables immediate conveyor stop when critical failure exists.
• Belt surface faults are detected early enough for preventive maintenance planning.
• System uses non contact optical 3D measurement technology, which can be used a wide range of textile and steel cord belt monitoring.
• No vulcanized wires, sensors or modifications to the belt are needed.
• System is automatic. Operator use it only when something happens to your belt, no permanent attention needed.
