System Displays Belt Wear
in Real Time
ContiTech describes its ContiAlert as a
unique conveyor belt monitoring process
that allows users to see belt wear in real
time. “A red bonding layer below the top
cover is exposed when it’s time to change
the belt,” said a ContiTtech spokesman.
“In addition, the ContiAlert system is
complete with a calculator that enables
customers to determine how much time is
remaining before the carcass is exposed
and the belt is in need of replacement. It
takes the guesswork out of belt replacement,
and helps prevent downtime and
increase uptime.” ContiAlert is available
with belt types of Plylon Plus 250/2,
275/3, 500/4 and 600/3 belts with a
minimum 3/16 x 1/16-in. to a maximum
of 3/8 x 1/8-in. covers, and in abrasion-resistant
compounds that include Defender
Plus, Stacker, Survivor and Survivor Plus.
