US: Conveyor Components has announced the launch of its SBR belt cleaner, a smaller version of its original brush-style belt cleaner. The cleaner uses an electric motor to drive a helical shaped, open face brush. Its hanger rail mounting allows for field customisable mounting on most conveyors. The supplier says that the product efficiently removes fines and carry-back material without clogging or loading.

US: Conveyor Components Company has announced its launch of Model DB, a conveyor belt rip detector. The equipment relies on a cable pull concept to trip the belt drive. Different microswitch options allow customers to choose from four circuit designs. Thus, instead of shutdown, an alarm response is possible. The supplier says that the technology offers similar performance to embedded coil devices.

US: Bulk materials handling specialist Conveyor Components has announced the launch of the Tripper Position Switch (TPS), a control unit consisting of two SP/DT micro switches rated for 20A at 120V, 240V or 480V. The unit indicates when the tripper of a shuttle conveyor is located on a multiple discharge point and will activate the dumper when signalled. Conveyor Components says that the device is housed in a “cast aluminium enclosure rated for NEMA 4 weather-proof or NEMA 7/9 explosion proof.”

US: Conveyor Components Company has released VA and VAX models, a bucket elevator alignment control product, to its product line of conveyor controls and accessories. The VA and VAX are designed to indicate when the head or boot section of a bucket elevator drifts too far out of alignment. They can be used to signal a problem or simply shut down the bucket elevator leg. This control device has a sequential two-pole double-break microswitch rated for 20A at 120VAC, 240VAC or 480VAC. The metal roller is bi-directional, and designed to survive in difficult environments.
