BELT PROTECTION UNIT

TYPE: CTS 9000 IRRD

The CTS 9000 Belt rip detector is an electronic device consisting of a network of sensing beams, which are mounted beneath the toughing belt, immediately after the chute. Should a foreign object penetrate the belt it will cause the conveyed material to fall through a cut in the belt. A roller which opens the rip in the conveyor belt causes the material to fall through the rip onto a catch plate which then builds up and breaks the infra red beam causing the unit to trip. Once this material starts accumulating and builds up on the tray, which is mounted beneath the toughing belt it will cut the sensing beams which will cause the conveyor to stop.

The electronic unit is equipped with a push-button, in order to allow the operator at least once in a shift to wipe the sensing beam’s cover without stopping the conveyor. The wash cycle will allow the operator five minutes to clear the lens and automatically the unit will return on line. The total unit consists of 3 IP 65 enclosures mounted on a metal bracket facing each other with the sensing beams, an electronic control unit which is mounted on the bracket facing out, and a special metal tray to catch the falling material.
