Steel cord conveyor belt, as important transportation equipment, has been widely used in such industries as Mining, Ports, Steel Mills, and Power Plants. Safety and production will be severely affected if belt breakage and ripping accidents happen. Due to the lack of reliable monitoring and testing instruments, operation safety has always been the “blind spot” or “source of danger” in the use and management of conveyor belts. Therefore, it is an urgent need for users to have the means that is capable to detect the hidden causes of accidents and ensure the safe operation of steel cord conveyor belt.

TCK On-line Automatic Inspection System for Steel Cord Conveyor Belt has successfully solved the problems of conveyor belt safety by online automatic inspecting and monitoring, which is becoming a brand new safety management model for conveyor belt. The system can not only provide real-time monitoring on the safety status of the conveyor belt and detect hidden causes of accidents, but also reduce the costs of conveyor belt use and improve production efficiency.

TCK Steel Cord Conveyor Belt Online Automatic Inspection System employs TCK’s patented and proven weak magnetism inspection technology, network communication technology, computer hardware and software technology, and explosion-proof technology. The system adopts modular design, making it possible for multi-module system to be constructed easily according to the width of conveyor belt at a low cost. Also, this system is available in explosion proof and non-proof. With the capability of unattended real-time inspection, it is by far the most advanced intelligent and non-destructive inspection system for steel cord conveyor belts in the world.
