The Model BD-3 is designed to shutdown a conveyor system, in the event of belt damage. It warns supervisory personnel of impending belt failures due to rips, punctures, splice failures and sharp objects protruding through the belt carcass. Belt damage detectors are mounted in pairs positioned on both sides of the moving conveyor belt. The units are connected by two spans of aircraft cable. One end of the cable mounts permanently to a support bracket and the other connects to a spring loaded ball located on the detector. The aircraft cables loop underneath the belt from each side crossing at the midpoint. A belt problem is detected when an object or piece of damaged belt hangs below the belt surface and sweeps away one or both cables. As the cable is detached, it pulls a spring loaded ball out of a socket, causing two micro switches to trip. One for annunciation to a PLC or alarm system and the other to shut down the conveyor belt lessening the potential damage and downtime that will be caused without this type of detection.
