Exact Location Fault Diagnostics Know whats wrong, anywhere on your conveyor line(s): 24hrs a day 7 days a week 365 days a year.
Multiple Conveyor Sequencing/Interlocking No need for conduit or extra wiring. CTS Pull Cable supplies all the communications for the system, while also functioning as the pull cable. Other Fault Location & Identification systems require individual switches to be hardwired through conduit. PLC/PC Interface Pinpoints faults by type and location so maintenance crews spend less time searching for the problem, and get vital equipment back online sooner. Troughing and Return Belt Misalignment Audible/Visible Prestart Warning Voice Communication Control Room Interface Blocked Chute CO Monitoring Belt Tear and Rip Belt Underspeed and Slip Emergency stop, pre-start warning, and speech communications along the entire length of the conveyor enhance employee safety and equipment protection. Interlocking and sequencing can control material flow. If a safety device stops a downstream conveyor, either upstream conveyors are stopped or flow is diverted to another conveyor. Once the problem is corrected, all conveyors are restarted sequentially, and the conveyor system is once again charged with material. Central control room provides an overview of your entire operation, combining information from all controllers and field components, using Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software. Hardwire or RF radio communications. Controllers can use any industrial protocol or serial communications (RS-32, RS-422, or RS-485). Or, RF radio transmitters can be used to remove the need for hardwire communications.

Emergency stop switches stop the conveyor electrically at any point along the conveyor.
Heavy duty pulling mechanism compensates for temperature drifts, preventing false trips. Electrical rotary switch allows the switch to be tripped manually. The electrical switch is a self-wiping rotary switch (not a microswitch), and consists of two normally open and two normally closed contacts. Switch knob is padlockable in the "Off" position. Once the switch has been tripped, the knob latches in the "Off" position and must be manually reset in order to restart the conveyor. High impact U.V. stabilized polycarbonate enclosure is rated IP 66 and D.I.P. (Dust Ignition Proof) degree of protection. Recommended distance between switches is 330 feet (100.6 m). Approved for use in non-hazardous locations by the Pennsylvania Dept. of Environmental Resources Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA).

The Conveyor Management System's intelligent controllers monitor and supervise the entire operation.
The Safeline Circuit provides an extra level of safety. The Safeline Circuit in every CMS controller ensures that every safety device is operating at all times.
A voltage inverting device used as the last unit in line transmits a negative voltage through a normally closed contact within each switch, back to the controller. The controller monitors for the presence of the negative voltage, ensuring that the circuit is complete.
Engineering Capabilities
Our Electrical Controls Division can design, build, integrate and test a system customized for your needs, planned for the best cost efficiency and ease of operation. As a company with many years of experience in the material handling industry, we understand the entire process rather than only the individual controls. From 10 feet to 10 miles, we can provide the complete solution for your conveyor control needs. yAny level of service and components, literally from the pull cord switch to the SCADA screen. yComplete system pre-testing eliminates start-up delays.

Troughing belt misalignment is detected by two upright arms, which are connected to an electrical switch by a glass reinforced polycarbonate coupling. If the belt misaligns on either side to the extent that it could cause damage to the belt or conveyor structure, it contacts one of the upright arms. The arm tilts in the direction of the moving belt and activates the switch. Adjustable mechanical trip delay on the switch coupling mechanism prevents false trips. Switch structure is designed to minimize material build-up which could render the switch inoperable. Belt protection units can be combined to meet your specific needs.

The enclosure contains a programmable electronic motion detector that displays the speed of the belt in feet per minute. The unit receives a signal from the speed roller, which can be monitored in two modes: Static mode monitors for off-speed condition Dynamic mode monitors for movement, acceleration, and operating speed Adjustable mechanical trip delay on the switch coupling mechanism prevents false trips. Switch structure is designed to minimize material build-up which could render the switch inoperable. Belt protection units can be combined to meet your specific needs.

Network of infrared sensors detects material spilled through a rip in the conveyor belt. The Infrared Rip Detector is an electronic device consisting of a network of infrared sensors mounted beneath the troughing belt. If a foreign object penetrates the belt, material will fall through the cut in the belt onto the detector's tray. As material builds up on the tray, the infrared beams are blocked and the conveyor is stopped. A "wash" cycle allows the unit to be cleaned without stopping the conveyor belt.
