Conveyor System

All conveyor systems are at risk of fire caused either by the ignition of transported materials or by equipment failure. A mechanical fault in the bearing of a roller, or the friction between the roller and the belt, can produce a buildup of heat sufficient to ignite a fire. In the case of a coal conveyor system, the risk of fire is exceptionally high. 

Senkox HSD™ Linear Heat Sensors are installed either on the side of the conveyor belt and/or above the idler arms. Senkox HSD™ Linear Hot Spot Detectors can monitor the temperature of the conveyor and detect any hot spots along the belt; if a hot spot is detected, the HSD detectors will target the identified hot spots and trigger specific sprinkler systems to eliminate the condition of overheating.
