AFRY VISI Belt - Conveyor belt condition monitoring system

• Continuously monitor the condition of the conveyor belt  
• Two monitoring modules: One on the material side and the other on the clean side of the belt.  
• Provides real-time information and reports about the health of crucial conveyor belts
• Provides information about the optimal maintenance window to maintain, fix or change each conveyor belt  
• Detects belt wear and tear, misalignment, slowly progressing damages, edge rips, holes
• Alarms when the probability of failure is increasing
• Stops the conveyor belts in severe damages
• Informs the operator of the stoppage reason

• Increase safety: Prevent unnecessary people exposure from dangerous areas near the conveyors
• Increase production: Avoid unplanned downtime of conveyor belts
• Speed up: Time for troubleshooting
• Save costs: Reduce maintenance costs, energy consumption
• Avoid: Informs about potential failures to ruptures, rips, holes, excessive belt wear, fire and other damage to the conveyor
• Reduce: Falling material from belt, sound emission  
• Optimise: Increase belt reliability and optimise lifetime

VISI Belt MS monitoring module – for monitoring the material side of the belt

The MS monitoring module analyses the cross-directional profile of the belt based on real-time optical 3D surface scanning. It detects belt thickness, wear, misalignment, edge wear, rips, holes, defects, damages and unwanted objects.  

Straight measuring Beam. Installed close to the head- or tail pulley or in another stable position.

• Creates defect map for the entire length of the belt and makes a detailed fault analysis. Faults are classified according to the severity of the fault.
• Can be connect to the customer´s control system for fault information data.
• Sends the defect map to cloud/customer servers for advanced analysis and visualisation.

VISI Belt CS (Clean Side)

VISI Belt CS is designed for the conveyor belt clean side condition monitoring.

• Detects with 3D surface scanning the damages that pierce the conveyor belt and detects holes, rips and objects that have penetrated the belt  
• Stops the damaged belt by sending a signal to the control system.  
• Curved measuring beam. Installed on the bottom of the top belt between conveyors frames immediately after the feed chute

Data visualisation

• A visual view of the belt´s health trend based on the picture and profile measurement data  
• The trend of the belt thickness (wear) visualised on the full belt area

Predictive analytics

• A forecast of belt wear in selected areas based on usage measuring statistics
• Forecast of remaining lifetime
• Recommendation of the optimal time to fix or change the belt
