State of the art technology maximizing the profitability and sustainability of your conveying systems.

We focus on optimizing the use of our products and services to remain market leaders. We offer unique solutions for specific operations that focus on profitability and sustainability. We constantly supply newly developed systems that will significantly prolong the lifetime of our clients conveyor belts. As conveyor belts are the backbone of any mine and their greatest expense, the new systems can be utilized on all types of conveyor belts whilst in full operation. These systems have been designed to provide our clients with greater insight into the current status of their conveyor belts by providing real time data showing any form of damage, allowing planned maintenance and shortening production downtime.

RFID Belt Rip Detection

We have designed a Belt Rip Detection System that makes use of the latest RFID technology. By using the new RFID antennas we are able to offer protection to all types of conveyor belts ie. steelcord, plied belting and PVC belts.

With the RFID antenna costing a fraction of conventional antenna loops, significant savings is made by our customers.

Due to the lower price of the single RFID antenna it is possible to install the antennas at shorter intervals offering greater protection to the conveyor belts by minimizing longitudinal rips within the belt. The Belt Rip Detection System does not only detects our unique RFID antennas, it also detects inductive sensor loops making the system incredibly versatile by monitoring belts with any existing sensor loops installed.

SYSTEM KEY FEATURES
  • The specialised RFID chip can withstand tempera tures up to 230 degrees Celsius, therefore having zero effect on the tag during the vulcanization
    process
  • The system can be operated by the control room operator directly from the control room
  • Multiple network connectivity like TCP/IP, WIFI and Serial are available
  • The RFID reader can detect the unique RFID antenna at a speed of 15 m/s
  • Each RFID antenna has a unique identification code
  • The software generates a map of the entire belt after only one full revolution

BTM Belt Thickness Monitoring

One of the most important factors for our clients is the increased life expectancy of their conveyor belts.

The BTM system continuously measures wear and wear characteristics on conveyor belts by use of ultrasonic soundwaves, these sensors generate over 1.000 readings per second in order to present an accurate graphical representation on the clients belts.

The system makes use of a RFID tag which allows our software to pinpoint any damage on the belt, then it compares the damaged area to historical data and calculates when this damaged area will become critical. In doing so, our clients are able to:

SYSTEM KEY FEATURES
  • The conveyor belt does not have to be stopped in order for the scan to take place
  • The system has zero contact with the belt
  • Can be installed on new and used belts
  • Unlimited belt image history is stored in the system database to compare historical and latest scanned images
  • Any damage to the conveyor belt can be identified accurately using the RFID tag and belt length scale provided
  • The system instantly generates a belt image after the first revolution

Steal Cord Scan

The Steel Cord Scanning System provides the world’s most accurate and reliable detection of broken cables, tension breaks and conveyor belt splices in realtime. The system is modular and can scan conveyor belts of any width.

SYSTEM KEY FEATURES
  • Runs continuously while the belt is in operational mode, the belt does not have to be stopped
  • System is suited for all widths of conveyor belts
  • Can be installed on new and used conveyor belts
  • Any damage to the conveyor belt can be identified accurately using the belt length scale provided
  • Easy to install, little maintenance necessary
  • Shows all cord damage on the conveyor belt, offering cost saving to the client
