Abstract:
In the article is presented the various types of belt conveyors monitoring systems. In the world there are plenty types of such kind of monitoring systems. Some of them use visual systems, others use X-ray or mechanical contact with the belt or belt equipment. In the article are shown the advantages and disadvantages of each inspection system. There are also shown the typical use of the conveyor belt systems and monitoring systems. The monitoring systems are obliged to control surface damage, steel cord defects, splice deterioration, tracking errors and monitor the state of glued and steel connection, before they cause any bigger problem. Stopping the belt conveyor cause wasting money and time. Nowadays factory, mines or seaport cannot afford more cost, so the systems that can avoid any dangerous accident are the most wanted.
