Kiepe BLS Belt Wear Monitor

A p p l i c a t i o n\r\n\r\n\r\nConveyor belts are subjects to wear and tear during operation.\r\nFor this reason, repair measures like vulcanization and splicing\r\nhave to be carried out from time to time.\r\nIn large conveyor plants, impending belt damages are not always\r\nnoticed. The Kiepe belt wear monitor type BLS® enables the\r\nfollowing belt damages to be detected at an early stage:\r\n• parts of the belt have come off in shreds\r\n• steel ropes stand off from the belt\r\n• belt edges are torn\r\n• facings of a repair point have come off\r\n• splices are defective\r\nRubber shreds protruding from the belt can get caught in a\r\ncarrying roller station - in the worst case - tear up the belt or\r\nbelt facing on the whole length. The same applies for broken and\r\ndrooping steel ropes of an armoured belt.\r\nIf only drooping rubber shreds and ropes are to be detected, the\r\nmonitor is to be installed under the upper belt. In this case one\r\nor two tripping ropes are tightened across the conveyor belt with\r\none rope end fixed to the conveyor belt structure. The other rope\r\nend is attached to a catch which is pushed over a pull-off device\r\ncarrying an inductive proximity switch and /or magnetic switch.\r\nWhen the tensioned tripping rope is touched by a rubber shred or\r\nrope, the catch separates from the switch and an electrical signal\r\nis initiated.\r\nTo cover the entire belt width, the system should be installed at a\r\npoint where the conveyor belt is only slightly troughed, e. g. near\r\nthe head pulley or behind a feeding point.\r\nIf monitoring shall inclube rubber shreds or torn wire ropes which\r\nprotrude from the upper side and may get caught in a roller of\r\nthe return side of the belt.\r\nd r a w i n g i n s t a l l a t i o n\r\nLocking positions\r\n1 2 3\r\nThe pull force can be increased by engaging the spring in slot 1 or 2.
