REMA TIP TOP presented a new generation of Belt Rip Detection (BRD). The innovative sensor technology significantly improves the precise real-time analysis of steel cord conveyor belts and supports predictive maintenance.
Belt rips are detected quickly and reliably. An automatic halt prevents significant damage and reduces repair costs and expensive production downtime to a minimum – a real added value for plant operators in the mining and heavy industries.
MCube BRD2 is part of the comprehensive REMA Engineered Technologies portfolio that REMA TIP TOP provides to optimize the maintenance of conveyor belts.
“Conveyor belts are the backbone of efficient material flow systems in heavy industry. With the enhanced MCube BRD2, we are setting new standards in the efficiency and availability of conveyor systems,” said Daniel Kasperek, head of REMA Engineered Technologies at REMA TIP TOP. “Thanks to the optimized integration with our proven MCube sensor loops, the length of a possible belt break is limited to the distance between two sensor loops.”
MCube BRD2 features inductive MCube sensor loops integrated into the conveyor belt, available for belt widths from 650 to 3,200 mm (36 to 96 in.). They consist of 2.5-mm thick endless wires with two or three loops and RFID tags for contactless identification. An optimum loop spacing of the recommended 50 meters ensures fast rip detection and minimizes the risk of serious longitudinal cracks.
The new version is specially adapted to detect the REMA TIP TOP sensor loops integrated in the conveyor belts but remains versatile and is also compatible with other common sensor loops. The cross-belt system monitoring can be integrated during production or retrofitted.
