A damaged belt can cause huge production and time losses within a plant. In general, the condition of conveyor belts is determined by physical/visual inspections carried out at regular intervals together with systematic preventive maintenance interventions.
However, it is common for failures to occur between inspections, sometimes causing significant loss of production.
Move from preventive to predictive maintenance and take only necessary corrective actions enabled by real time monitoring of the actual belt performance. The actual equipment condition is continuously assessed. You can plan necessary maintenance only when certain indicators give the signal that the equipment is deteriorating, and the probability of failure is increasing.
The technology is based on sensors installed in strategic points of the conveyor belt, specifically designed for harsh environment, to monitor its health conditions.
