Belt Rip Detector Uses Simple Cable Pull Concept

The Model DB belt rip detector from Conveyor Components Company (Croswell, MI) is a mine-duty and quarry-duty belt rip detector that operates on a simple cable pull concept. When a belt flap or tear, or a foreign obstruction such as a wrench or screwdriver or piece of rebar, has pierced a conveyor belt, the cable releases the activation ball from its protective socket and trips the device. Additional features include:

• Outputs that control up to four separate circuits.
• SP/DT or DP/DT microswitches are available. 
• Alarms can include one for machinery shutdown, which minimizes further conveyor belt damage, and one for alarm. 
• A corrosion-resistant cast aluminum housing — optional polyester or black epoxy powder coating. 
• A protective rubber boot on the cable assembly keeps the activation mechanism clean and functional.
