Bulk Handling Control Systems

 

When transporting bulk commodities such as gravel, sand, coal, salt etc., belt conveyors are often used. To make the belt conveyor function correctly, the tension in the conveying belt should be adjusted to the amount of goods being transported and to the variations that may occur.

 

Without a continuous adjustment of the track tension the conveyor will not work properly and the equipment will be subject to excessive wear. Our instruments are eminently suitable for monitoring and controlling the tension in the conveying belts.

 

Use a robust PIAB Load Guard
Correct tension will increase the reliability and minimize the need for services, thus providing an economical operating procedure. By using the accurate and robust PIAB Load Guard, you easily achieve the correct tension for your bulk handling control systems.
