S UR F IX ® PR O S - CT W I T H PR O BE F 3 0 - C Measurement of steel cord conveyor belts to reduce downtimes Steel cord conveyor belts are often used in continuous Application areas operations for transporting piece or bulk goods. The tensile forces are transmitted through steel cables, which are embedded in rubber. The rubber is used to protect the transported goods, but also the steel cables. + Mining industry + Sand and gravel extraction + Transport and storage of bulk material + Construction industry Depending on the transported goods the rubber is exposed to heavy wearout. Regular monitoring of the rubber layer and measuring the thickness of rubber on the steel cables thus help to prevent a larger damage. Usual standard methods for rubber thickness measure­ ment are destructive test methods that lead to long shutdowns and can usually only be carried out by external service providers. To increase availability and service life of steel cord conveyor belts PHYNIX has developed the coating thickness gauge Surfix® Pro S-CT with the probe F30-C. After appropriate calibration this system can measure quickly, accurately and nondestructively rubber thick­ n ­ ess on steel cord conveyor belts. Combined with systematic documentation of measurements and their statistical analysis maintenance can be Advantages at a glance + Non-destructive and fast measurements of rubber thickness + No work-intensive splicing or removal of the rubber necessary + Scan-modes for detection of especially thick or thin spots + Calibration data memory for the application with various types of conveyor belts + Reasonably-priced measurement principle without subsequent costs + Memory and interface for systematic wear recording + Reduction of downtime well scheduled and carried out accurately.
