ContiTech introduces visionary conveyor-belt monitoring process

January 29, 2016 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

ContiTech has introduced ContiAlert, a unique conveyor-belt monitoring process that allows users to see belt wear in real time. “A red bonding layer below the top cover is exposed when it’s time to change the belt,” said Chris Marchant, product manager for conveyor belting. “In addition, the ContiAlert system is complete with a calculator that […]

4-ContiTech-SICON-belt-trends

Today’s conveyors perform better than ever thanks to material advances and modular designs tailored to applications. That’s true of miniature conveyors for discrete product sorting, extra-large conveyors for bulk material-handling operations, and everything in between. Discrete medical, pharmaceutical and assembly applications use the most miniature conveyors, but until the last decade or so, most such […]
