Mining conveyor instrumentation incorporates all sensors and switches as well as actuators to protect the conveyor's mechanics and costly belt. Important features are, for example: tramp metal detection, belt misalignment avoidance and detection, slip detection and control, belt wear monitoring,
The Touchswitch is an electro-mechanical limit switch with no moving parts, which detects tracking and misalignment problems on bucket elevators and conveyors. When a belt misaligns or a pulley moves over and contacts the sensor, the built in solid-state electronic circuitry detects the lateral force of the belt or pulley and activates a voltage free solid …
A conveyor belt is an essential member of any mining team. Its primary use is transporting material over long distances, changing how mining operations were conducted in the past, making it more efficient and less damaging to workers. Conveyor belts are often overlooked when performing correctly, but when they malfunction or break down, they …
As a leading provider of bulk material handling equipment, we've put together the information below to serve as a comprehensive guide in selecting the most appropriate belt conveyor types, how to best customize industrial conveyors according to handling goals, and essential guidance for troubleshooting.
The Bulldog alignment and rip detection switch is an electro-mechanical system designed to detect dangerous misalignment of the conveyor and also detection of belt tear damage.
Like any type of machinery, conveyor belt systems will eventually experience issues from time to time. Regardless of how well-maintained conveyor belt parts are, it's normal to face problems, especially given that conveyor belts are one of the most used pieces of equipment across many industries. While some problems are …
Learn how to use rotary encoders to measure conveyor speed, calculate RPM and linear distance and how to synchronize multiple conveyors for pick-and-place.
Belt slip is measured by comparing the driven pulley speed to the speed of the belting. The speed of the belting is normally measured by monitoring a non-driven pulley whose angle of wrap and belt tension ensures that it will not slip against the belt carcass. Note that conveyor idlers do not meet these criteria. The speed of each driven pulley should be …
The solution is based on as many as 24 different sensors, installed in strategic points of the conveyor belt equipment, which continuously measure and monitor the conveyor belt's conditions. Sensor technologies employed are ultrasonic, inductive, or infrared, and the sensors are designed to withstand harsh environments.
CONTI Protect Belt Monitoring Systems. Industrial and mining applications move heavy loads that can be very abusive to conveyor belts. In addition to impact and abrasive effects of the material being conveyed, conveyor belts are often subjected to conditions that cause damage, such as trapped material due to spillage, chute plugs, overloading, slip …
THE BSD-50X SYTEM PROVIDES A MEASUREMENT SYSTEM TO DETECT BELT SLIP IN A CONFIGURATION WITH REMOTE MOUNTED TRANSMITTER ELECTRONICS.
4B's line of speed switches includes: proximity, inductive, zero speed, stop motion and rotary encoders to monitor dangerous belt slip, underspeed or stop conditions on conveyors, bucket elevators and any other shaft driven machinery. Our non-contacting sensors can be used to detect screw conveyor flights, elevator bucket bolts and other …
The Inelco International SS2000 Speed Switch has been developed to detectslip on conveyor drive pulleys. The SS2000 can also be used as a sequence switch to start an Inbye belt when the Out bye belt is up to speed.
