Belt Rip Detection System BRS2
 What is Belt Rip Detection?

 The Becker Belt Rip Scanner System is used to detect longitudinal rips on steel cord
conveyor belts (as well as on fibre belts) and to prevent greater damage to the belt by
stopping the belt drives.

 About 90% of belt tears usually occur at the loading and is mostly provoked by foreign
bodies or objects. The remaining 10% is equally split up between the discharge / tail end
and full run of the belt.

 The Becker Belt Rip Scanner System can be used wherever there is a danger of
longitudinal belt rips.

 Inductive coils should be selected according to belt width and type of rubber. They can be
supplied either as raw rubber plates for installing in steel cord conveyor belting during
manufacture or as vulcanised plates for retrofitting for cold and hot vulcanisation.

 The total number of coils necessary to protect the conveyor is user depended. If embedded
in short distances (like 15-20m) in case of rip, the maximum tear will only be 20m.
