A pioneering new range of belt trackers resulting from an extensive design, development and testing process, promises notable improvements in performance and reliability of conveyor systems.

Conveyor belt misalignment solutions provider Tru-Trac says its cutting-edge belt rip detection system is a game changer in the sector, while its range of belt scales are engineered for precision and dependability.

“Our belt scales have seen considerable success since their launch two years ago,” he says. “These are critical components in any bulk materials handling operation, providing both accurate and repeatable data on throughput and production,” says Tru-Trac COO Shaun Blumberg.

Working with specialist design engineers, the company asserts that it has achieved a best-in-class product range which now also boasts a digital reporting platform that allows remote monitoring and reporting.

“Tru-Trac Rip Prevent+, our next-generation belt rip detection system, is a disruptive solution which we are launching in Africa with our partners, SHG of Germany. Using artificial intelligence to monitor power consumption for anomalies, this technology gives early warnings of potential belt rips, enabling operators to react swiftly and prevent damage,” continues Blumberg.

In addition, the company’s investment in Internet of Things (IoT) technology, specifically the integration of digital solutions, aims to facilitate predictive maintenance through real-time monitoring of equipment.

“The mining sector is increasingly turning to IoT to refine data collection and analytics, enhancing overall efficiency. Our IoT-enabled conveyor solutions offer predictive and preventative maintenance, reducing downtime and enhancing productivity,” adds Blumberg.
