This allows for individual steel cords within a conveyor belt to be non- destructively tested whilst the belt is in normal operation.
This non-destructive examination identifies and quantifies areas of damage within the belt carcass, as well as individual splices.
This is a patented non-contact optical analysis system to monitor the surface of conveyor belt covers in real-time.
CBM has developed a totally standalone system that monitors and detects any changes to the belt's profile via a non-contact cover thickness measurement system.
The thickness and hardness of the rubber covers are monitored for rate of change, with the resulting predictive graphs minimising unplanned belt failure due to excessive wear. This allows pre- dictive structuring of belt main- tenance and replacement schedules, especially when coupled with load analysis.
An inspection of the overall conveyor system condition is per- formed by an experienced technician. The inspection includes items such as: pulleys, scrapers, skirts and belt thickness. Results are combined into a comprehensive report on operational condition. A summary recommending Planned Maintenance and Immediate Actions, ranked by priority, is also included.
