A conveyor condition monitoring system must be able to detect damage on a conveyor belt even when dirty, caked or covered in wet material.

If the system relies on a clean belt to effectively detect damage it will fail once damage coincides with diminishing brush cleaner effectiveness or varying environmental and operational conditions.

It would always have to be accompanied by meticulously maintained, ever ready cleaning systems to ensures it is able to accomplish its task, adding additional stock costs and increased maintenance intervals on production teams.

The Massasauga Rattler RipTech™ conveyor condition monitoring system does not require a clean belt to detect belt damage.
