CENTRAX BELT TRACKERS: PLANT STOPPAGES CAUSED BY BELT MISTRACKING ELIMINATED

Mistracking
A THING OF THE PAST

“In this application our transom design prevented displaced carryback from building up, allowing the transom to rotate freely and the rollers to keep turning. Centrax was able to perform where others could not. The other key design feature which helped in this case was our unique rubber lagging. The diamond cut pattern acts like a winter tyre tread in wet conditions to disperse water and prevent aquaplaning. This means Centrax really gripped the belt effectively, making severe mistracking a thing of the past.” MD, TBK Group

The Challenge:

A 1400 mm wide conveyor belt at a busy port was mistracking so badly it repeatedly tripped the safety shutoff system causing the belt to stop whilst urgent corrective actions were taken. Constant ship unloading delays were costing a fortune. Competitor tracker rollers failed to solve the problem after the dirty iron ore and coal caused heavy build-up, preventing the rollers from tracking.

Our Solution:

3 x Centrax multi idler trackers on carrying strand
2 x Centrax multi idler trackers on return strand

The Improvement:

Plant stoppages caused by belt mistracking eliminated
