Steel Cord Scanning
The primary purpose of the Steel Cord Belt Scanning system is to detect steel cord, carcass damage and splice irregularities, by means of non destructive testing during the conveyor belts' normal operation, via our remote, semi remote or field inspection services, without (depending on service) the need to stop the conveyor belt or have personnel on site.
With shrinking maintenance windows and limited downtime access, CBM has developed a system to minimize interruption while scanning all forms of steel cord conveyor belting. Steel Cord Scanning via the Magnetic Flux Leakage system is designed to detect anomalies or damage within the steel cords and splices of conveyor belting, invisible to the naked eye.
When the system is operating, it locates areas of cord breakage, partially damaged, corroded cords, integrity of splices and health issues of the
carcass. This information is available instantly with no conveyor downtime (depending upon the system combination Remote, Semi Remote or Full conveyor inspection), enabling full production to continue with limited or no interruption.
CBM's Engineers analyse and generate comprehensive reports using this data.
The data is captured via intelligent software on site or sent remotely via data connection to be inspected by engineers for anomalies. Damage can be identified immediately for notification and inspection. This is achieved through data comparison against the previously captured data.
Periodic interrogation (with a remote or semi remote installation) of the conveyor is useful in monitoring ongoing cord damage, the condition of splices (new and old) and to predict the necessity of section replacement.
This CBM System is suitable for both surface and underground applications.
Clear, concise, easy to read and above all, rapid indications regarding conveyor belt safety and durability.
Provision of the most comprehensive condition monitoring of conveyor belts and systems in the world today.
Non Contact / Remote Monitoring / Minimal Ongoing Costs / Operating In All Conditions
CBM Steel Cord Scanning has been designed as a standalone system, or as an integral part of a Condition Based Monitoring System
This system, as with all CBM systems is suitable for both above and below ground applications.
