Belt rip detection system
2nd Quarter 2014
Other technologies
Becker Mining South Africa has launched its new BRS-2 belt rip detection system, which has been designed to increase the productivity of conveyor belts by detecting belt rips as soon as they occur.
“This belt rip detection system is used to detect longitudinal rips on steel cable and fibre conveyor belts,” says chief sales officer, Johann Smit. “The BRS-2 uses real-time loop diagnostics to continuously monitor the status of the belt and in the event of a rip stops the belt drives, which reduces any further damage and minimises downtime.”
To monitor the status of a belt, inductive loops are embedded in the belt. Once installed, the BRS-2 system carries out an identification run and the processor of the belt rip detection system unit (BRS/CU) stores the necessary data. Parameters include the succession of loops in the belt, belt speed and startup time of conveyors. Apart from the detection of belt rips, this system is designed for monitoring belt speed, the detection of belt slip and also for belt sequence control. Access and monitoring of the system is simple, either locally with its 30 cm TFT screen, five shortcut buttons, a mouse pad and virtual keypad, or remotely via TCP/IP or other bus standards.
Other features include real-time graphics, a forward and reverse capability, local and remote password protection and a record of the last 10 000 system changes.
The device has a robust stainless steel housing, with an IP65 protection rating.
