Continuous conveyor belt alignment is operationally critical.

Edge damage is likely during conveyor belt misalignment and may result in increased tension leading to complete belt failure and structural damage.

Conveyor belt misaligned will over time also cause uneven belt wear resulting in the need for a complete belt replacement before the end life.

In general misalignment is the symptom of several types of conveyor belt problems, all of which require addressing as soon as they are identified.

It is therefore an accurate early indicator that may be used to address root causes long before repair is required, or damage has occurred.

The Massasauga Rattler Riptech™ detects misalignment within 0.00007575 of a second.
