Belt Management
The Almex BeltGard Systems uses MFL technology to provide an advanced non-destructive belt scanning system that can determine cable damage, splice layout, splice deterioration and corrosion in any steel cable belting. BeltGard uses rare earth magnets that magnetize the steel cables within the conveyor belt and the sensor head and then a high-speed processor reads the magnetic flux from the damaged/cut/corroded cables.
BeltGard works for any steel cable belt manufacturer and any belt thickness or belt speed. The system provides alerts based on various tolerance points set to provide a Non-Destructive Test (NDT) solution and early warning of any potential belt failures.
Almex WSR (Width Sensing Receiver) monitors the width of the belt for it's entire length to detect any shearing or spreading or edge damage changes from it's baseline. The system is able to bring the belt to a stop when the rip is detected.
