Gravity Systems
|
|
It is common to find the gravity rollers exerting a larger weight or tension onto the conveyor belt due to a build up of dirt and dust. We have known 30 tonne rollers to increase in weight to 45 – 50 tonnes. Obviously this is not the best situation. This additional weight could cause the conveyor to fail and most certainly causes un-necessary wear and tear of the conveyor system. .
Monitoring the tension in a gravity roller system is a sensible approach to maintainimng your conveyor in the best possible condition."

Take-Up Winches
|
|
Load Cells are installed on either side of the conveyor. They are connected to a take-up winch, which applies tension onto each side of the conveyor belt. The Load Cells monitor the take-up winches. This System provides a read-out of the tension on each side of the conveyor. Various communications outputs i.e. 4 - 20mA signal, RS485 etc are available.
Our system enables the maintenance department to accurately adjust and set the tension on each side of the conveyor belt."
